Salmon is rich in Omega-3 and vitamins including B6, B12, D and many others. It’s a protein powerhouse that’s good for our hearts and brains. Salmon has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory joint conditions such as osteoarthritis, help to reduce depression, aid in the cognitive health of the elderly, and reduce both high blood pressure and high triglycerides.
Beyond it’s health benefits, I think salmon is delicious. This salmon recipe super easy to cook and absolutely awesome, even many salmon non-lovers enjoy this version! It combines Asian flavors with American simplicity and takes only about 15 minutes from refrigerator to table. What’s not to love?
