Sweet N Sour Salmon w/ Grapefruit Slaw

Fatty fish like salmon and sardines are high omega 3 fatty acids as well as Vitamin D. Salmon can be one of the most expensive sources of protein that you eat, but remember that the expense is balanced by frugal vegetarian meals on the Orange Tree Menus…and we desperately need the omegas it provides! If your eaters aren’t crazy about grapefruit, either add a little more sweetener in the cole slaw or use mandarin oranges instead.
