Pescetarian Recipies

The first step to start your Pescetarian life is obviously eating. I will list some easy to do recipes!

Salmon Salad

Salmon contain vitamin B and D, easy to digest minerals, Omega 6 and very little Mercury that
we mentioned earlier. Here is a very easy 3-step recipe!

1 can red salmon
3 hard-boiled eggs, diced
1 1/2 cup diced celery
3/4 cup M iracle Whip
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish, with juice

1 . Drain salmon. Remove skin and bones.
2 . M ix well M iracle Whip, sugar and pickle.
3 . Add salmon, eggs and celery to M iracle Whip mixture, and mix well. Chill and serve
cold.

Corn Chowder

Since Pescetarianism is very similar to being a vegitarian why not learn to make vegitarian food?

3 cobs of corn, shucked and de-kerneled
the corn kernels from the cobs
1 tbsp butter
1 c vegetable stock
one small onion, finely chopped
1 large potato, peeled and cut into a small dice
1 celery stalk, cut into a small dice
1 carrot, peeled and cut into a small dice
2 c milk
1-2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp white pepper

Melt the butter in a medium pot and add the stock, onions and celery
bring to a boil and then boil at low temperatures for 5 minutes
add milk, carrots, potatoes, cobs, bring to a boil and then boil at low temperatures,
covered, 10 minutes
remove the cobs and add the corn and continue to simmer, uncovered, until kernels
are tender
remove about 3/4 c of the vegetables from the soup with a ladle or slotted spoon and
puree in a blender, food processor, or magic bullet, and return to the soup
add the salt and pepper and parsley and stir well to heat through
