Alaskan Smoked Salmon Capri Salad

Fabulous Smoked Sockeye Salmon

As I've searched for new salmon recipes that I can try cooking myself and share it in here, I've stumbled this very nutritious and yet looks so yummy recipe the day after Christmas. It's called the Alaskan Smoked Salmon Capri Salad courtesy of Vitalchoice.

It has no artificial coloring, preservatives or nitrites. Their hot-smoked salmon is markedly superior to most supermarket and deli brands. It's cured in salt brine, hot-smoked over pure then immediately vacuum -packed and flash frozen.

Check out this wonderful recipes for salmon.
