Smoked Salmon Extravaganza



I don't know about you, but I love smoked salmon. There's just something about the smokey, oily goodness that grabs you by the senses and doesn't let go. I indulge in this treat whenever possible. Health wise, wild Salmon is high in the good fatty acids that keeps your coat and paws looking polished and keeps your skin young. Some Doctor's have formed entire diets based around salmon. Now I know what your saying, "But K8*E, aren't there Mercury dangers in eating too much fish?". Yes and no. Farm raised Salmon carries a far greater toxic risk than it's wild counterparts. So, stick with wild whenever possible, or limit your farm raised intake.

Here is a low-carb, high protein recipe for smoked salmon that I came up with tonight. I use Cage Free Eggs which include more omega 3's than usual, in addition to the omega 3's in the salmon.

Flying Dragon Egg Salad

4 free range eggs, hard boiled
4 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced
2 stalks organic celery, thinly sliced
2 tbsp mayo (I used light)
1-2 tbsp Emeril's Kicked Up Horseraddish Mustard
Salt & Pepper

Toss eggs, celery, mayo and horseraddish mustard (adjusting for to your own taste), salt & pepper. Fold with smoked salmon.
