Stuffed Salmon Fillets
Fresh salmon is high in Omega 3s, but smoking salmon reduces the amount by about 75 percent. In fact, eating pickled or smoked foods several times a week has been linked to an increased risk of developing certain cancers. RECOMMENDATION: While an occasional smoked or pickled snack shouldn't harm your health, it's best not to eat them regularly. This recipe bakes your salmon in the oven for tender tastiness!
