Easy and delicious omega 3 recipes
Here are some great recipes you can start on today!
Tuna and Bean Salad
Tuna one of the great easy omega 3 sources, and this is a quick simple meal for busy nights.
1 can mixed beans
1 can water-packed tuna fish
1/2 cup sliced cucumber
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 cup low fat mayonnaise or salad dressing
Drain and rinse the beans and drain the tuna. Combine all ingredients.
Easy and Delicious Salmon
Salmon is a fantastic source of omega 3s. Try to choose wild pacific salmon to avoid high levels of mercury.
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
1 cup tomatoes, chopped
4 salmon fillets
1/2 cup white wine
2 tbsp vinegar
2 cloves chopped garlic
Chop onions and spread over the bottom of a baking dish. Layer salmon on top. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour/spread over salmon. Bake in a 350 oven for 10-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily.
Anchovy Greek Salad
Anchovies are fantastic omega 3 sources, but a lot of people aren't very fond of them and can't imagine popping open a can to spread them on crackers. This recipe hides them in a well beloved recipe.
1 large cucumber, chopped
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 jar pitted Kalamata olives
1 red onion, sliced
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 cans sardines, packed in water, drained (bone in gives the best omega 3)
3 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp oregano
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp basil
2 tsp red wine vinegar
Whisk the last six ingredients together to make a dressing. Combine the other ingredients, either chopping sardines into salad (for those of us who want to hide them) or layering them on top (for the brave among us). Drizzle with dressing and refrigerate for one hour before serving.
These three meals are delicious, healthy, and easy to make. They all involve fish, which are fantastic omega 3 sources. Of course, you can also make delicious vegetarian meals with flaxseed oil and walnuts, but we all know that fish oil really is the best source of omega 3. Try these omega 3 recipes to keep your family healthy throughout winter.
