Salmon - so good, so simple, so versatile

Simply salmon

Salmon steaks are the quickest, easiest, tastiest 'supper in minutes' you could possibly have. They're just as good served hot as they are flaked into a salad - if you like salmon of course.

Assuming you do - here are a few delicious ideas to make it look and taste better still.

It's good for you too:

• It's rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids 
• a great source of Protein 
• high in Vitamin B 
• a good source of Potassium 
• loaded with Selenium
• and contains the antioxidant Astaxanthin.

Just add Stokes
