Health Benefits of Salmon

Salmon is highly nutritious – it’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, B vitamins, and antioxidants. Consuming salmon has been shown in research to reduce the risk of developing heart disease. It has also been shown to promote weight loss or to maintain a healthy weight, reduce markers of inflammation in the body, and promote brain health.

Wild caught salmon is preferred over farm raised salmon as wild caught tends to be higher in omega-3 fatty acids. Read this article, Wild vs Farmed Salmon: Which Type of Salmon is Healthier? to learn more about this topic.

How to Make the Lemon Garlic Teriyaki Salmon
