Baked Salmon Egg Rolls

You could fry your egg rolls, but I bake mine. The three egg rolls in the front of the picture are baked, and the rolls behind were fried in a pan with 2″ oil.

I won’t try and persuade you that they taste as good baked as they do fried, but they come a close second, with considerably fewer calories.

What’s good for me in this dish?

Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin C,  fiber, manganese, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Cabbage protects against cardiovascular disease, some kinds of cancers, Alzheimer’s Disease and gastrointestinal health.

Salmon is loaded with tryptophan, vitamin D, omega 3 fatty acids, selenium, protein, vitamins B3 and B12, phosphorus, and magnesium. Salmon is another powerhouse of nutrition that promotes brain health, heart health and blood pressure. I prefer Wild Alaskan salmon. It’s a bit pricier, but farmed fish contains more inflammatory-producing omega-6 fatty acids, as well as antibiotics to eliminate disease and parasites.  In contrast, wild salmon has more protein, fewer omega-6 fatty acids, and is considerably higher in omega-3 fatty acids. What a powerhouse of nutrition for heart health!
