Healthy Tips:
- Salmon is rich in protein and contain omega-3 fatty acids in addition to several other vital nutrients. Salmon contains vitamin D, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, niacin, magnesium, selenium and calcium in just a 4 oz serving.
- The omega-3 fatty acids present in salmon help prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of stroke. Omega-3 fatty acids also help prevent diabetes, arthritis and cancer. These vital nutrients have also been found useful in the treatment of disorders like Alzheimer’s.
- While selecting salmon for your recipe, you should keep in mind that it is better to use salmon that has been frozen and then thawed rather than fresh fish that has been kept for a few days. The eyes of the fish should be clear and the gills should be clean red or pink in color.
