For the greatest omega-3 benefit buy the fattiest fish. Try mackerel, anchovies, herring, sardines, salmon, tuna and turbot. Frozen and canned are OK, the USDA says.

LOVE this salad I have made it about a half dozen times now and I just can't get enough. I add about 3-4 oranges add a cayanne kick in the salmon coating and cut down on the oil a little (only for diet reasons) but otherwise make this recipe just as is...IT'S AWESOME!! thanks so much for sharing!

Loved it. This was a light and delicious summer salad. I adjusted the dressing because I had no orange concentrate and wanted to cut down on oil. I used 4 T. of fresh orange juice about 1 T. of orange zest and only 2 T. of oil and also added a dash of cayenne pepper. Only other adjustment was adding an avocado which I highly recommend. Delicious! Read More

I was surprised how well the cumin-crusted salmon went with this salad since cumin and balsamic don't seem like the idea mix in my head. But it provided a really good kick that tasted great.:-) Will definitely make this again in the future. Read More

This salad is to die for and has become my favorite salad of all time! All of the ingredients go so well together it's all I can do not to lick the plate. I make two changes to this salad when I make it. 1) add avocado 2) make extra dressing. Ugh! It's so good! Read More

This dish is so exciting! I love the combination of salmon spices oranges beans cheese and nuts. It's absolutely delicious. I did not have pine nuts on hand so I substituted roasted almonds. Next time I will definitely add an avocado- I'm convinced that would take it to a whole other level. Read More

This was excellent as well as very healthy! I cut the olive oil in half it doesn't need so much oil. Also I added a little garlic powder to the salmon seasonings. And since my orange was on the smaller side (i did a 2 serving recipe) I added the whole orange. Other than that I followed it to a tee. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

We loved this salad! Fresh and delicious followed the recipe to a "T". I think I'll try adding a little orange zest to the dressing next time just to give it a little more orange flavor. Thanks for the great recipe:) Read More
