Recipe: Wild Salmon Salad Sandwiches
From The Six O’Clock Scramble cookbook and e-newsletter by Aviva Goldfarb. For more family-friendly recipe’s order Aviva’s cookbook online.
About 6 servings
A quick and healthy no-cook meal, these sandwiches are also fun to eat on a busy night. We topped them with sliced tomatoes and tortilla chips for extra crunch! Serve them with celery sticks dipped in peanut butter.
1/4 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about ½ a lemon)
1 can (15 oz.) wild Alaskan pink salmon, drained (can used “boneless & skinless” or “regular”)
1 cup finely chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
6 hamburger/sandwich buns, whole wheat or white
In the measuring cup used to measure the mayonnaise, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey and lemon juice. In a medium bowl, mix the salmon, celery and dressing ingredients. Put a scoop of the salmon salad in each bun and eat them cold.

I enjoyed this show very much. My kids (9 and 15) love tuna sandwiches, but I was always worried about what they were ingesting with it. The salmon alternative is fantastic.
However, I may not have been paying attention. I bought a can of Atlantic Salmon, which my daughter really liked. Then I looked up the kidsafeseafood website and learned that there are several kinds of salmon, and Atlantic is the worst! Worse even than tuna fish for health (PCB, dioxin, mercurey) and the environment.
Back to the drawing board.
In the South we eat a lot of catfish. It just occurred to me last weekend while at a hole in the wall catfish restaurant that I don't really know what they feed the fish at catfish farms. I've heard rumors that its dogfood. Now with the recent contamination of dogfood from China, I really couldn't stomach another bite once the thought hit me. And since the government can't seem to stay on top of the the most rudimentary regulations regarding our food supply, I'm quite concerned about this issue. Do I have cause to feel so alarmed?
Great show! Thanks. Whole Foods carries a canned tuna. Any idea if this is any better than the regular retail stuff?
What about Flax for a source of Omega's?
Do you see any linkage with Hyper Thyroid conditions? It seems to me these are on the rise in today's youth.
