Salmon is here! We are so excited, and it's not just because of the yummy taste. As one of the richest natural sources of long-chain omega-3 fats, salmon is quite the superfood. These particular fats play an active role in promoting good overall health as well as reducing the risk of heart disease and other inflammatory disease.
Salmon is also an excellent source of protein, iodine, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and the trace nutrient choline and selenium, which can be tricky to find in other foods.
We've paired this recipe with summer super-stars zucchini and tomato, then amped the whole thing up even more with jalapeno pickles for a punchy flavour hit. Are you ready to serve up a superb salmon dish this week?
