Did you know that …

• Wild salmon has about one third the cholesterol of chicken or beef.
• Fish can be fatty or lean but is always low in saturated fat.
• To reduce your fat intake, bake, broil, grill or boil fish rather than breading & frying it.
• 3 oz of canned salmon with bones contains about 200 mg calcium.
• Omega-3 fats are most concentrated in salmon, as well as, anchovies, herring, sardines and mackerel.

A healthy twist on a favourite recipe

Pancakes with Wild Salmon and Stir-fried Vegetables
Recipe & image courtesy of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute.

Serves 4

2 cans
(213 g each)

Sockeye or pink wild Alaska salmon
100 g (4oz) plain flour
1 large egg
300 ml (½ pint) low fat milk
  a few drops of vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. tomato sauce
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp, honey
1 tsp.

cornflour
2 Tbsp.

stir-fry oil
350 g (12 oz)

fresh or frozen stir-fry mixed veggies
 

salt and freshly ground black pepper
  sesame seeds (optional)

1.

Drain the salmon, remove skin and bones if desired, and break into large chunks. Cover and set aside.
2.

Make the pancake batter by whisking together the flour, egg and milk with a pinch of salt. Heat a pancake pan and add a few drops of vegetable oil. Add a little batter, tilting the pan so that it flows over the surface. Cook until set, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used up, to make 8 small pancakes. Keep them warm.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, soy sauce, honey and cornflour.
4. Heat the stir-fry oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the vegetables and stir-fry for 3 - 4 minutes. Stir in the sauce mixture and cook for another minute or two, then gently stir through the salmon chunks, taking care to avoid breaking them up. Season to taste.
5. Divide the filling mixture between the eight pancakes, then serve while still warm, sprinkled with sesame seeds (optional).
