There's more to eating salmon than the usual sashimi. For starters, how about infusing salmon with a delightful blend of jasmine tea, shiitake mushrooms and ginger jus?
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon plays a crucial role in heart health as it helps with atherosclerosis and triglyceride lowering. It also contains docohexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which has been shown to enhance mental and visual functions in babies.
Singapore's Health Promotion Board encourages the consumption of fish at least twice a week.
Here are some great and easy recipes from the Norwegian Seafood Export Council and celebrity chef Karl Dobler from Au Petit Salut that promise to make your salmon experience a delicious one.

| Chef's Tips |
| Cook the green soba noodles immediately before serving.
Ensure that the green soba noodles are being cooked in boiling water for precisely 3 minutes 20 seconds. This is to preserve the natural flavour of the noodles and also to ensure the texture is firmer.
