Tired of the Same Old Tuna Sandwich?

Why not mix it up with salmon?  Not only is this heart healthy fish good for lowering triglycerides but the Omega-3s also fight depression (aka it puts you in a good mood).  Pairing it with a good rye increases the health benefits of this sandwich because rye has been shown to slow digestion which keeps you full longer.  It is high in energy boosting manganese, muscle building protein and it's ready in 5 minutes. Yay!

Salmon BLT on Rye
(recipe courtesy Oxygen magazine)

1 tbsp low fat herbed cream cheese
2 slices rye bread toasted
3 oz canned salmon (or leftover salmon from yesterday's dinner)
2 slices turkey bacon
1 slice tomatoe
1 boston leaf lettuce (or whatever lettuce you have)

Spread cream cheese over 1 piece of toast, layer with salmon, bacon, tomatoe, and lettuce. Top with remaining slice of toast.
