Crunchy Salmon Salad, a bariatric friendly recipe

Do you crave fish from time to time? When it comes to craving seafood, does seafood always appear more noticeable than other food-specific hankerings? It’s no surprise that fish are packed with healthy nutrients and minerals, so it’s possible that your cravings are physical or mental. 

No matter which of the two your craving is associated with, our crunchy salmon salad recipe will take care of your yearning for fish. Not only will you receive the instant gratification of tasting delicious seafood flavors but you will also provide your body with the proper nutrients that it needs.

After post-op weight loss surgery, it’s important to fuel your body with healthy foods while keeping in mind your newly restricted stomach. Our crunchy salmon salad recipe is a great source of protein, which by now if you are part of the bariatric community, you know how important it is to maintain a decent protein count daily. By consuming high protein meals, you can help your body feel fuller longer which is a healthy habit we fully support for your weight loss journey. 

This recipe was very simple to create and is perfect as a snack or your week’s meal prep. Our favorite thing about this recipe is even though bariatric patients have to portion out their meals properly, you still get all of the ingredients and flavors within a single bite! 

For those who might not love seafood but are open to giving this recipe a chance, know that our team used Safe Catch, Wild Pacific Pink Salmon. Safe Catch is a unique brand and a personal WLS Afterlife favorite because they developed breakthrough technology capable of accurately testing each fish for its mercury concentration. They’re also certified Kosher, gluten free and dolphin safe!  So if in fact your craving for fish is physical, selecting the right brand is important to providing your body with the vital oils contained in fish.

When you combine the pink salmon, with all the other ingredients, prepare to take your love for seafood and salads to the next level. The avocado and salmon add a nice balance to the crunchy textures of the matchstick carrots and red bell peppers while at the same time providing you with a decent amount of protein. With the freshly squeezed lime, we highly recommend being generous to really bring all the flavors to life.
