Healthy 15 Minute Meals With Alaska Salmon

Even though you may find yourself struggling to get the healthiest meals possible onto the table for your family, you can do it with less work than you might think. To get the allowance of seafood recommended by doctors (at least twice a week), you don't necessarily have to keep haunting the fish store trying to find a good catch to take home. Instead, look into the boneless Alaska Salmon that is available in pouches or other containers in the grocery store. When you want to shake things up for any meal, you can look to this excellent resource.

Because you don't have to worry about refrigerating or freezing this salmon, it can take out the difficult part of the equation. You will still get all of the health benefits Alaska Salmon is known for, yet your prep time and even cooking time will be nil. Omega-3 fatty acids and lots of calcium are packed into every container of boneless Alaska Salmon. Try out these two recipes when you feel like you want to shake things up.

Caesar Salad with Black Olives and Salmon: You can try and craft your own Caesar dressing and making your own croutons, but if time is of the essence, you can simply use the packages of Caesar salad kits available in grocery stores. Toss your salad as you would on any other day, but then pull out the winning ingredients. Chop black Kalamata olives in half and mix them into the salad, then top it off with chunked salmon pieces. You can prepare this meal easily in less than fifteen minutes.

Alaska Salmon Tostadas: Cooking in the Mexican style may seem like a time-consuming, complicated process, but it is actually only a careful assemblage of ingredients. In the case of tostadas, you simply need to make a typical salsa concoction with tomato, onion, cilantro, garlic and a little salt. To this mix you add the boneless Alaska Salmon. Meanwhile, lay out some tostada shells and add a layer of hot beans and cheese right away on the bottom. Once you top this off with the salmon mixture and sour cream, dinner is served - and again in only fifteen minutes.

Incorporating salmon into your regular diet can lower your risk for heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems.  It really is a super food, keeping your heart strong and your arteries clear. It's no wonder that people are craving for more and more ways to prepare and cook this fabulous fish. This article takes a look at the Latino inspired recetas de salmon, salmon recipes just like what your abuela cooks.

Salmon makes for a heart healthy meal anytime.  More and more scientific studies have been hailing the wonders of omega-3 fatty acids, of which, of course, no other common fish delivers more than salmon. Salmon, with its rosy pink, tender meat and delicious, moist taste is an incredibly versatile fish that can be cooked any number of ways. Here we explore the pungent flavors of the Latino kitchen; Spanish spices and a little love and care, make these dishes burst with tang.  Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty; turn up the salsa and get cooking.

Of all your classic recetas de salmon, this one will take you back to the comfort of your childhood-it's something right out your abuela's kitchen. Arroz cremoso con salmon, or creamy rice with salmon, has its origins in Spain. It takes about half an hour to make, so, you can make it even on your busiest days. You will need rice, salmon, water, garlic, half an onion, 2 green peppers, oil and salt. Chop the pepper, onion and garlic and lightly sauté them in a pan over low heat.  Add the rice with water or fish broth. After about ten minutes add the salmon, which should be cut up into bite sized pieces.  Cook over low heat for another 18-20 minutes. Add some parsley for garnish, y listo, it's ready to serve.

This next in our series of recetas de salmon, ceviche de salmon comes from us from lovely Chile. Ceviche a dish popular in Peru, Panama, Guatemala, Columbia, and yes Chile. It's sort of like a Latin American version of sashimi. Slabs of raw fish are marinated in citrus juices. This dish is quite refreshing and easy to make; it does require some time to marinate though, so you can easily prepare it ahead of time. The ingredients are  salmon, red and green pepper, a cup of lemon juice, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste and about 3 tablespoons of oil. Cut the salmon into bite sized pieces. Chop the onion and peppers. Let the salmon soak up the lemon juice and then add the vegetables and the cilantro. Put it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Before serving, add the oil.

Continuing with our recetas de salmon, we have a dish called Cancato from Colombia. It's quite simple to prepare  and makes for a great appetizer. You will need salmon, cheese, two tomatoes, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Cut open the salmon, clean it and fill it with the rest of the ingredients.  Stick in the oven to roast for an hour.
