Salmon is a very versatile fish. Equally delicious hot or cold, it can be made into souffles and mousses, pastries and pasta dishes, sandwiches and salads. Whether it is served raw as sushi, brined as gravlax, poached, steamed, baked or grilled on the barbecue, fresh salmon is delicious, nourishing, and an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids that are so important for a healthy heart.
