Salmon Pâté with Shallot and Fresh Parsley Recipe

Those who experience “spring fever”, or lack of energy, may wish to add salmon to their diets. The high protein content of the fish helps the brain release dopamine, an energizing hormone. 

Ingredients:

8 ounces cooked salmon  

1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt or soy yogurt

1/4 cup nonfat cream cheese or creamy soy cheese

1 shallot, minced

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Pinch of salt

In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mash with a fork until the mixture is spreadable. Use as a sandwich spread; or serve as a snack or appetizer on cucumber rounds, crackers, or crusty bread. *

*If the weather is dry, add lemon juice to taste while mashing. If the weather is damp, add a minced fresh jalapeño while mashing.
