Recipe follows in detail with pictures.
                     
Fish has been an important source of protein for humans for ages. Among the many varieties of fish salmon is considered to be the best source of omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon also contains many vitamins and minerals. Salmon is a healthier alternative to red meat.

Nutritional information relating to salmon will be found here.

It is said to be a brain food. Omega-3 fatty acids are a great help to our hearts.

Look for moist, shiny, bright and firm fish, when buying salmon. If it smells exceedingly fishy don’t buy it. It is a good fish if it smells sea-fresh.

It is said that we require two servings of 150 grams of salmon per week. Salmon is mostly baked, boiled, fried,eaten raw with salad or as sushi. It is very tasty when it is fried but the oil of salmon is wasted.I make curry so that the whole oil is in the curry. Today I will give you my curry recipe.
