Salmon Recipes and Health Benefits

Salmon can be so easy to make and is one of my favorite dinners go to’s. I always keep some frozen salmon fillets in the freezer for a quick, easy, healthy dinner.

Salmon has many health benefits:
✔️Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
✔️Great source of Protein
✔️High in B vitamins, Potassium, and antioxidants
✔️Good for cardiovascular health and thyroid function
✔️Improves brain function and cognition

Choose high-quality salmon. When looking for salmon, you want to stick to the wild-caught varieties. These can be coho salmon, sockeye salmon, or king salmon. Sockeye has a stronger flavor and is the leanest. King salmon is the most expensive and is thicker and richer tasting. Avoid the farm-raised fatty Atlantic salmon. These are often fed an artificial diet and are lower in nutrients. It is better to buy frozen wild-caught salmon than fresh farmed salmon.

Working salmon in your rotation is a win, win! It's delicious and good for your health! Here are five recipes that you can add to your weekly meals.
