Salmon is a fatty fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, vitamins D and B12, and selenium. These nutrients support heart health, brain function, immunity, and muscle maintenance. Salmon’s omega-3s help reduce inflammation and promote cardiovascular wellness. Its firm texture and rich flavor make it suitable for grilling, baking, steaming, and raw preparations like sushi. Regular consumption provides essential nutrients, supports healthy aging, and contributes to a balanced diet.
