A list of twenty healthy and easy salmon recipes for you to try. Cooking seafood at home has never been more delicious!
My family loves seafood and one of our favorite types of fish is salmon. Full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and an excellent source of protein, I always feel good about feeding salmon to my family.
In fact, the American Heart Association recommends eating fatty fish, such as salmon, at least twice a week for the omega-3 fatty acids which the body isn’t able to make on its own. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation in the body, which lowers the risk of developing diseases such as heart disease and arthritis. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids may help lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
