Salmon Loaf Recipe

I love salmon and am always game for experimenting with new salmon recipes. Salmon loaf recipes on this page are two of my favourites with lighter than healthier ingredients than your usual salmon loaf recipes.

Salmon has a great reputation for being health-supportive food based mainly on its unusually high omega-3 fatty acid content. It is very common for 4 ounces of baked or broiled salmon to contain at least 2 grams of omega-3 fats - more than the average U.S. adult gets from all food over the course of several days.

Salmon also contains excellent amounts of tryptophan, protein- amino acids, vitamin D and selenium. It is, without a doubt, one of nature's purest and healthiest foods..

*Here I'd like to tell you about my favorite diet program that uses a lot of the healthy lower GI foods: Isabel de los Rios' 'The Diet Solution Program'.

The Diet Solution Program favours a long term health orientated approach to fat loss, but not offering anyone a quick fix to their weight troubles. It has loads of valuable data and research to support its approach. I personally investigated the program thoroughly and my mum has been using it for a while now. I have to say she got some great results.

The nutrition plan is one of the healthiest we have seen, a strong core focus on vegetables, fruits, vitamin dense foods, lean proteins, select dairy produce and a clear approach to not expecting one diet to work for all body types. So give it a try and let me know how you’re doing.*
