Over the last few months, I've been talking about how I like to create easy lunches with salmon. Remember the old saying, if it swims, it slims. That is, providing, it's not battered and the oily skin is removed.

In fact, most days, I've been eating this salmon tray bake in various ways. Well, recently as the weather has been picking up, I've been making salmon salads. Or, this, a recipe for satay with salmon and steamed veggies around 300 calories for lunch.
