Selection, Storage and Prep Notes for Weeknight Dinner Recipes

Skillet Salmon with Zesty Peach Chutney

1. No need to buy wild-caught salmon only. Farm-raised fish, including salmon, is just as safe and nutrient-rich. And don’t be scared with the mercury stories. The Food and Drug Administration considers salmon a low-mercury fish, safe even for pregnant women.
2. The peach chutney can be made a day or two in advance and refrigerated. Heat on the stove or in the microwave before enjoying it with the salmon.
3. Use any spices on the salmon as you see fit. Salt and pepper only allows the chutney to shine and compliment the salmon.
4. Canned peaches in 100 percent juice (or even light syrup, as opposed to heavy syrup) also count as a nutrient-rich fruit choice. Canned peaches still contain high amounts of vitamins C and A, plus a higher vitamin C content because the heat from canning makes more of it available.
5. When it comes to fish highest in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, salmon ranks right up there. It provides beneficial nutrients to developing babies in pregnant women and may help with cognitive function in everyone, especially older adults.
