Lime Salmon Stir Fry
[blue_heading]Lime Salmon Stir Fry Recipe $1.76[/blue_heading]
I don’t always have the cash to buy the sort of fish i’d like so I usually only buy fish a couple of times a month and that means it’s either in a packet or frozen. I happen to be at Walmart last week and found these handy frozen salmon burger patties perfect for a quick cook up! Even though it’s possible to buy high quality fish in the Midwest it’s not always the most cost effective. I find cod, tilapia, bass, mai, salmon, tuna, and catfish to be among my favorites and I am always willing to try new varieties when the mood strikes. Fish is a very lean high protein meat that is popular within the health community as no other meat can be it as far as nutritional make-up. So if you can find a good source of fish in your communities make sure it’s a regular part of your diet for a well rounded healthy life!
Update: Since writing this recipe I found out these particular salmon burgers are in fact fished from China and for those concerned like I am with slack foreign food quality regulations than please be aware of this and purchase a sustainable domestic product as to avoid unwanted foreign fishing practices.
This is a quick easy complete meal that can be made in under 15 minutes! You can make extra very easily with this recipe and it’s great as left overs for the next day.
