For the greatest omega-3 benefit buy the fattiest fish. Try mackerel, anchovies, herring, sardines, salmon, tuna and turbot. Frozen and canned are OK, the USDA says.

This recipe was a flop. The salmon was overcooked and the salad was bland.

I'm allergic to salmon, so I substituted tilapia. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of cumin, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salmon was still delicious and the salad was very refreshing.

This summer salad was a refreshing and light meal, perfect for a hot summer day. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the cumin crust added a nice flavor. The salad was also very flavorful, with a good balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
