Salmon Casserole
This salmon casserole is loaded with heart-healthy omega-3 fish oil. What's more, its mercury content so low it is often not measurable. That's because I make this casserole with a one-pound can (450 g) of wild Alaska pink salmon, a short-lived species.

Preparation of Salmon Casserole
- Crush garlic and set aside. Whiz in a mini-blender if you don't have a garlic press.
- Chop onion and add to bowl. Optional: Fry chopped onion in olive oil until it is translucent, but not quite brown.
- Drain canned salmon and add to a mixing bowl, bones and skin included. Mash with fork.
- Blend together garlic, egg, flour, yoghurt, herbs/spices, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add to the bowl. Add onions and chopped vegetables.
- Mix well and place in a casserole dish.
- Smooth surface of the mixture with the back of a large spoon so that no bits of vegetables are exposed.
- Drip onto the surface one or two tablespoons of olive oil and smooth the surface again so that it is completely covered with a thin film of oil.
- Bake 30 minutes in a 350°F (180°C) oven until the top surface is light brown.

Yes, you can use other fish, such as tuna or mackerel, which also have lots of omega-3 oil. No longer a salmon casserole, but possibly just as delicious.
