From: www.vitalchoice.com newsletter
This California-accented recipe seems perfect for a barbecue party on
a warm, sultry, summer night!
The cool greens make a great setting for wild Alaskan salmon hot from
a grill or broiler grate.
The walnuts add even more omega-3s to the salmon, while the fish, nuts,
juice, chives, and the grapes abound in antioxidants.

4 Alaskan salmon fillet portions (4 to 6 oz each), thawed*

opaque throughout.
