Smoked Salmon for Breakfast
Smoked salmon can be used in lieu of what we consider normal breakfast meats. Consider adding a side of smoked salmon to your breakfast biscuit. If you stop and think about it, what sounds better, a greasy piece of sausage on what will soon become a soggy chunk of biscuit, or a piece of savoury salmon on a light and fluffy biscuit? No matter what the quality of your biscuit or the fat content of your sausage, there is a certain amount of animal fat that is essential to make sausage be sausage.
If the health benefits are not important to you, consider using smoked salmon for breakfast just for the cultural aspects. We want to teach our children to appreciate the different arts; ballet, opera, and modern art galleries. Why not expose them to a food which is not routinely seen in the refrigerator? Smoked salmon is readily available, and it convenient to use. It will keep for an extended period under the right conditions.
To learn to use smoked salmon, begin thinking of it as a garnish. The colour will delight children and adults alike. Breakfast is generally a meal with minimal colour, yellowish coloured eggs, brown meat, brown bread, and maybe some colourful fruit added in. The addition of salmon makes the breakfast plate come alive with the pink colour so expressive of salmon. Add a small piece to get the family started and encourage taking a small bite to learn the art of savouring a piece of food.
With some picky eaters, you may have to resort to trickery and not tell them it is fish. Unfortunately, sometimes we need to treat some adults the same way. Once they get used to the garnish, consider adding more smoked salmon to a breakfast burrito.
There is no rule that says sausage is the only meat allowed. Smoked salmon can be used in lieu of nearly any breakfast meat. It is a healthy alternative, as it contains Omega-3 oils our bodies need to function properly. Do not be afraid of salmon, it does not bite!
