Salmon Pate
[“Food Feature”]
Current research on omega-3 fatty acids has brought new appreciation for one of the most delicious fish that our oceans and rivers provide — salmon. Salmon is, of course, a good source of 18-carbon omega-3 linolenic acid, which helps protect us against heart disease and autoimmune disorders. Salmon also provides some of the longer chain omega-3 fatty acids, like EPA and DHA, so necessary for proper function of the brain and eyes.
Salmon is an excellent source of vitamin D — containing more than butter, shrimp, or liver. It also supplies moderate amounts of the other fat-soluble vitamins, A and E, as well as iron, iodine, and the B vitamins. Raw salmon is a good source of vitamin B6 (which is easily destroyed during cooking.)
Buy salmon in season when ocean- and river-going fish are available. These are naturally pink to dark red — the darker the better. Sockeye salmon from the west coast is a beautiful deep color, indicating that the fish have been feeding on tiny shrimp and other algae-eating organisms, and are therefore rich in nutrients, including the Price Factor or Activator X. Farm raised salmon is fed inappropriate feed like soy meal, and is given a chemical to make their flesh pink – otherwise it is a pale cream color!
Salmon Pate
- 2 cups fresh cooked salmon, drained and deboned
- ⅓ cup homemade mayonnaise
- 3 artichoke hearts, steamed and mashed
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried dill
- ¼ teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Process salmon a few seconds in a food processor. Add remaining ingredients and process until well blended. Serve with raw vegetables or toasted slices of sourdough whole grain bread.
