Health and fertility benefits of Mediterranean Salmon Sandwich

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and also one of the best sources of vitamin D. Keeping vitamin D levels up is important to women with PCOS. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons olive oil
4 (6-ounce) salmon steaks or fillets
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup artichoke hearts marinated in olive oil, chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup of kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1 fire roasted red bell pepper, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Juice of 1 lemon
4 focaccia rolls or 1 large roll with Italian herbs, cut into 4 (4 to 5-inch) squares

Instructions

Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, place the salmon steaks in the pan and cook until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, mix the artichoke hearts, red onion, olives, bell pepper, parsley, lemon juice, and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl.
Once the steaks are cooked, remove from heat. Let the salmon steaks cool. Remove the skin and bones, if any and shred the meat using 2 forks. Mix the cooled meat with the artichoke mixture in the bowl. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.
Cut the focaccia bread in half lengthwise; then warm them up on a griddle. Next, take the filling and spoon it onto the warm focaccia, set the tops in place. Cut the sandwiches diagonally in half, and serve. Delicious!
Cook's Note: It tastes a lot better if you make the filling ahead of time to let the flavors combine. The bread is very important. It's a lot better to use the kind with Italian herbs.
