A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
Salmon contains a vitamin called pantothenic acid, which we don't often hear about. Pantothenic acid helps release energy from carbohydrate-containing foods, plus it helps manufacture certain body hormones.

"Salmon is great-tasting, even during chemo, and the cool taste of the cucumbers is super. Quick and easy is good! This recipe makes me think spring." -ANNE R.
