Seared Salmon Sushi


Attention sushi lovers ... Vital Choice Tataki is to die for!

Tataki is the Japanese term for a lightly grilled, rare fillet ... in this case,
quick-seared, boneless sockeye salmon loins that are flash-frozen and individually vacuum-sealed.

 

Simply thaw your Tataki, slice and serve it solo, with salad, or with stir-fried veggies and rice for a quick, delicious, healthful meal. (Note: the loins may be cooked further to suit individual tastes.)

Each package contains approximately 4 to 6 individually vacuum-packed, random-weight loins. An excellent value!

Whole Omega-3 Salmon Oil



Vital Choice Salmon Oil (top left) vs. two standard fish oils

Our "whole food"
Omega-3 Salmon Oil supplements contain only unrefined oil from wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon: a fish whose renowned purity is reflected in the pristine contents of our naturally colorful capsules.

Unlike standard fish oils, derived from fish of varying quality, our naturally pure Sockeye Salmon Oil does not need to be chemically refined. (Its purity and potency are certified by NSF.)

As a result, our whole, unrefined Sockeye Salmon Oil retains all of the omega-3s (EPA & DHA), vitamin D, phospholipids, and 30-plus fatty acids natural to whole Sockeye Salmon oil. 

And the rich orange-red hue of our Salmon Oil comes from its natural complement of astaxanthin: the super-potent antioxidant pigment that gives Sockeye their distinctive color and protects our Oil's abundant omega-3s from oxidation.

In addition, ours was the first Salmon Oil supplement certified as sustainably sourced by the Marine Stewardship Council (www.msc.org).

Last but not least, we encapsulate our Salmon Oil in fish gelatin (not bovine or porcine), and offer smaller softgels (500 mg)and liquid Salmon Oil for children and folks who may have trouble swallowing our 1,000 mg softgels.


World's Best Canned Salmon


If you haven't tried our Wild Red Sockeye Salmon you're in for a treat, because it tastes much fresher and firmer than standard supermarket brands.

 

The rich, red color of the meat and oil is unlike any you're likely to have had before. And minimal processing ensures that you'll get the maximum amount of nutrients naturally abundant in Sockeye Salmon: omega-3s, vitamin D, and astaxanthin (a potent orange-red antioxidant pigment).

 

Choose Skinless-Boneless Wild Red, or Traditional Style with skin and soft edible bones for extra flavor and ample calcium.

 

Both kinds are available with or without added salt ... and several varieties come in EZ-Open pull-tab tops.

 

“You are providing a wonderful health-giving service to the planet with your business. And it is a pleasure to bring this information to my audience. It is also a pleasure to snap open these little cans of salmon and have an instant healthy meal!”

-- Dr. Christiane Northrup

Salmon Roasted with Herbs
It could have been the start of a beautiful friendship.

When it comes to alternatives to the traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner, sparkling fresh, utterly delightful wild Alaskan Salmon makes a spectacular, broadly appealing choice.


Remember, the first Thanksgiving featured fish as well as fowl! 
 And Salmon is very quick to cook, so you won’t be slaving in a hot kitchen or worrying about over- or under-cooking a big, unwieldy bird.

 

Salmon would fit well with traditional side dishes such as a rice (mixed with wild rice), squash, peas, potatoes, asparagus, and all the usual suspects … including cranberries!


We adapted this recipe from one by an old colleague, New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman, bestselling author of How to Cook Everything and, closer to our hearts, Fish: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking.

 

Mark is a great cook, with a knack for devising dishes that are simple yet deeply satisfying.

 

Salmon Roasted with Herbs

Adapted from Mark Bittman.
Makes 4 to 6 servings

 

4 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil

2 (24 oz each) whole wild Salmon fillets, skin on (scales removed) or off

Sea salt and organic black pepper to taste

1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon

1 tablespoon chopped dill

2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

 

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Heat the oil in a medium roasting pan, either on top of the stove or in the oven as it preheats.
  • Stir in the tarragon, dill, and half the parsley. Place the salmon in the pan, flesh side down, and put the pan in the oven. Roast about 5 minutes, then turn and roast 3 to 4 minutes longer, until the salmon is just done (peek between the flakes with a thin-bladed knife). Remove Salmon from the oven when it is still a bit dark in the center. Let it sit, covered for a few minutes to cook in its own heat, then check it again.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper, garnish, and serve immediately, with the pan juices spooned over, and garnished with the parsley.
