Salmon salad

Salmon is a heart-healthy fish that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, B vitamins, iron, selenium, potassium, and magnesium. Consuming at least two servings of salmon per week can help you meet your omega-3 fatty acid needs.

In a randomized trial including 92 Chinese men with high blood lipid levels, those who ate 500 grams (18 ounces) of salmon every day for eight weeks saw significant drops in their triglyceride levels and signs of inflammation. In comparison to males who consumed other animal proteins, they also saw notable increases in HDL cholesterol, which protects the heart. Regular consumption of oily fish like salmon has been related in other studies to lowered heart disease risk factors like high triglyceride levels. Enjoy the quick and simple salmon salad dish with some nutrient-rich leafy greens for a heart-healthy snack.
