O, the Oprah Magazine Oprah Winfrey teams up with registered dietitian, chef, and restaurant owner Laura Pensiero in the January edition of O, the Oprah Magazine, to send the message "Life isn't about dieting, it's about enjoying!" Pensiero offers readers a four-week plan to transform their eating habits and ten delicious recipes to ensure that they enjoy the process. The first healthy creation featured is the "Guiltless salmon burger." In the featured story Pensiero refers to salmon as a "High quality protein" and proclaims her preference for wild salmon stating, "wild salmon ... offers health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids and has less worrisome toxins and PCBs than farmed salmon." The reason she considers wild salmon high quality protein also extends to the low-fat content of salmon: "The salmon burger contains about ten fewer grams of fat than the traditional burger" explains Pensiero. In addition to the health benefits and outstanding taste of the guiltless salmon burger, its prep-time is minimal. According to Pensiero, "You can cook one up in less than six minutes," which leaves readers plenty of time to enjoy their dinner.
