Salmon is a wonderful source of protein, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains vitamin D.

Make sure to purchase wild, not farmed, smoked salmon and make sure that it contains no nitrates/nitrites or other potentially carcinogenic preservatives. Vital Choice is my favorite brand of healthy and delicious wild smoked salmon, but if you already have one that you like, feel free to use it.

This makes a nice simple breakfast, lunch or snack and it's easy to make substitutions. You could use sardines instead of salmon, watercress or arugula instead of cucumber, you could squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the salmon, and you could roll this in steamed collard leaves or a spelt, rice, or sprouted wheat tortilla to make a more substantial meal.
