Omega-3 Salmon Salad for Anti-Aging

A well-made salmon salad doesn't need much dressing up, and this one keeps things simple — crisp-skinned salmon over a big bowl of greens, tomatoes, and cucumber.

Salmon's omega-3 fatty acids are one of the more talked-about nutrients in anti-aging nutrition, and this salad layers in even more good fats with diced avocado and a scattering of chia seeds. A quick squeeze of lemon at the end keeps the whole plate tasting light rather than rich.

Cook the salmon just until it flakes, then build the salad around it while it's still warm. Leftover salmon from another meal works nicely here too, so this is a good way to use up extras rather than starting completely from scratch. Canned salmon works in a pinch on busier days, though pan-searing a fresh fillet gives the salad a noticeably richer flavor and better texture overall.
