Healthy Tasty Food

Would you believe me if I told you that you can use salmon to season your favorite food and it not taste fishy?  Well its' true.  You can use smoked salmon to season your beans, make your baked potato more tasty or anything that requires a smokey bacon taste without using bacon 
There are a lot of us looking for ways to eat healthy without losing the flavor or taste of our favorite foods...remember "starkist donen't want tuna with good taste, starkist wants tuna with taste good".  People do not want to give up the taste good of their food to gain health.  I for one, would still like to taste that smokey flavor in my beans, cabbage, spinach and bake potato just to name a few.  And I don't want to use meat to give me that taste good flavor.
When you use smoked salmon to flavor your food you cut down on fat and calories and gain health; good health is the goal.
I don't want to bore you with all the details of how you should eat, because most of us know how we should eat...just doing it is the hard part.  What I want to share with you are the details on how to get this little salmon to flavor your food.
Lets' start with the cabbage something simple, easy and delicious.

I chose the above picture because I wanted to show you what part of the cabbage you should eat.  You should pull away all of the darker greener leaves, because they can make you gassy and too many green veggies too often is not good for the digestive track.

The first thing that you want to do is cut and wash your cabbage,  and cut the cabbage to your desired size, and place in a strainer.  After the cabbage has drained place the cabbage in a large bowl and add olive oil, onions (chopped or sliced) and garlic (chopped).  With your hands toss the cabbage with olive oil, onions, garlic, and make sure that it is completely covered.  Set the cabbage to the side.  Make sure to have your skillet hot with oil that covers the bottom the bottom of the skillet (not too much oil) do not use olive oil to brown your salmon (you can use vegetable oil, corn oil or safflower oil).  Have your salmon cut and ready to place into the skillet.  You will fry until the salmon is golden brown or crispy; which ever comes first.  After the salmon has finished cooking place on paper towel to absorb the excess oil.  Now place the cabbage into the same skillet  and add the smoked salmon to the cabbage.  Add sea salt or season all seasoning, pepper (red or black).  Let the cabbage simmer on a low heat with a lid and   Stir every now and then to make sure that all of the cabbage cooks evenly.
Trust me this is the best dish you have ever had without using meat to flavor it.  If you told your friends or family that you did not use meant to flavor your cabbage they would not believe you.  
I will be posting more blogs like this make sure to stop by and read and tell your friends.  Push that share button I would appreciate that :).
