  2. I thought salmon was high histamine–unless it’s flash frozen at sea? I didn’t notice any mention of this. Is the information I have incorrect?

    thank you

  3. This is absolutely delicious! I found that it had plenty of flavor without the dressing which helped lower the sugar and calorie content. It is by far my favorite lunch recipe. Thank you
