SALMON AND POTATO SKEWERS
This is a super fast, very healthy recipe that will appeal to kids too…
And because salmon is particularly rich in Omega-3 it is very good for children as they play a crucial role in brain function, as well as normal growth and development.
Omega-3 are necessary for human health, but the body can’t make them. You have to get them through food.
The Mediterranean diet emphasizes foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, olive oil, garlic, and moderate wine consumption. Many studies have shown that people who follow this diet are less likely to develop heart disease.

In this recipe the fish is associated with the potato, rich in carbohydrates, making it a meal in itself.
For the breadcrumbs use old bread and crush it in a blender. Otherwise I suggest you buy breadcrumbs from a local bakery, they usually have them. In Switzerland many little supermarkets also carry products from local producers, I find it very nice and handy.
Cut the salmon into cubes, they approximately have to be the same size of the potatoes ones.
Bear in mind that if you are overweight you don’t want to consume a lot of salmon, especially the farmed one.
