I am wondering how many of you eat Salmon on a regular basis? The consensus from nutritionists is that we should consume Salmon at least three times weekly. I am not a huge fan of the fish but I do prepare baked Salmon steaks at least once a week. There just isn't anyway that I could eat it three times in one week. I do however make other types of fish during the course of a week. I limit meat to only once or twice weekly.

Are there any Salmon fans here? If so, how often do you prepare it?

We eat salmon at least twice a week. I get the stuffed salmon from Costco. It comes in a 4 pack and is wonderful. Very easy to prepare too. I love salmon.

I love salmon- and probably have it 2 or 3 times a week. I buy a huge piece form Costco and cook it immediately- without any seasoning. I love the flavor on it's own! I cut it into portions to freeze, it's the easiest lunch to pack for work!

I used to have it once a week. But it's been awhile. I have to get back to my routine.

I put olive oil and Mrs Dash on it, bake in oven at 375 for 25-30 min. Perfect every time.

Love salmon but will only eat wild caught in the fresh salmon choices. It is more expensive than the farm raised variety but is so much better and no need to worry about pollutants. Happily Trader Joe's has wild smoked salmon so can eat that if wild caught fresh is not available in the markets or if I can't afford it. You will taste the differnce if you try wild caught versus farm raised.

Love it, but the mercury contamination concerns me now.

We used to have salmon a few times a month, but I can't seem to find good prices anymore. I'd buy fresh or frozen and make salmon patties. I won't buy canned salmon, it's just not my preference.

I grew up on the canned stuff- yuk! Love the fresh stuff! I usually find it for around $7.99 or $8.99 a pound. Not cheap- but sooooo good for you.
