My Lab has ear infections & sea trout allergy. Can she eat salmon?

Question

We just had our 11 year old lab tested for allergies. We did it through an online company to skip the middle man. She has had countless ear infections. And is costing us 250 each visit. So the vet suggested allergy testing. She is allergic to peas at 99%. And Sea Trout at 90%. Almost every limited ingredient food has peas as the 2nd or 3rd ingredient. But if the food has Salmon in it, it most likely has no peas. So my question is can my Lab have Salmon if she is allergic Sea trout? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 10 years and 2 months old | 80 lbs

Food allergy testing is notoriously inaccurate for such fine detail and in order to determine the extent that the allergies are contributing to her symptoms i would recommend a food which has no peas/legumes and no fish. A hydrolyzed diet such as royal canin hypoallergenic for 8-10 weeks with no flavored tablets or treats. Rechallenging with separate ingredients after this can help to identify which cause a recurrence of symptoms
