Salmon is one of my favorite foods and something I find myself craving during pregnancy, but it just isn’t a food I find myself making very often at home. That\u2019s why I love Chicken of the Sea wild-caught pink salmon pouches<\/a>. They make eating super-nutritious salmon so easy for me and they\u2019re far less expensive than buying wild salmon at the fish market.<\/p>\n

\"Herbed<\/p>\n

Once or twice a week, I make salmon salad for lunch for Daniel and me. This week, I decided to branch out and make a spin on my favorite lemon garlic tuna burgers. In a big bowl I mixed 2 pouches of flaked wild salmon, fresh herbs (parsley and dill), lemon juice, garlic, scallions, Greek yogurt, egg, and panko bread crumbs to make 2-inch patties which I then stuffed into pita pockets with lettuce, tomato, paper-thin slices of cucumber, tangy feta cheese, and a quick homemade yogurt dill sauce. Each bite is bursting with fresh, herby flavor. These little herbed salmon patties taste fabulous tucked into a sandwich but they\u2019d also be great on a big salad, too.<\/p>\n

\"Herbed<\/p>\n

This is the kind of meal you feel good about after eating. The fresh and tasty flavors will be satisfying and the nutrition is undeniable. Even better, every flavor fresh pouch is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council<\/a>, which is the world\u2019s leading certification standard for sustainable wild-caught seafood. So do something responsible for your health, taste buds, and our oceans, and try these delicious salmon pita pockets!<\/p>\n
