Tip:  Wild salmon can contain up to 4 times the amount of vitamin D as farmed (Atlantic) salmon.  It is also high in omega 3 acids in contrast to the farmed salmon which is packed with inflammatory omega 6 fatty acids and high in PCBs (cancer causing industrial chemicals).
 
Notes: *Tamari is a type of naturally fermented soy sauce made without or little wheat (read labels); and specifically a Japanese form of soy sauce, traditionally made as a byproduct of miso paste.
 
** Coconut aminos are a low-glycemic, vegan, and gluten-free alternative to soy sauce made from aged sap of coconut blossoms and salt with 17 amino acids and about 65% less sodium than regular soy sauce.
