Fish and shellfish are nutrient dense and salmon is no exception. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals (including potassium, selenium and vitamin B12) but it is their content of omega-3 fatty acids that deserves mentioning. Important to note omega-3 fatty acids contribute to healthy brain function, to heart and joint, and overall well-being, but it is not synthesized by the body. Omega-3’s are termed essential nutriments because they must be obtained from the diet.
