My son and I love Salmon and we eat it about once a week. I am always looking for new ways to cook it. Today I made an Asian Salmon with Brown Rice Noodles and a side of green beans.
Wild Alaska Salmon are high in heart healthy Omega 3 oils and low in Omega 6 oils, which are not as healthy. Omega 3 oils are essential fatty acids needed for human health. Your body is unable to make them, so they need to be obtained from the food you eat. Salmon, tuna, and halibut are all high in Omega 3 oil, however, salmon has the highest amount of any fish. The American Heart Association recommends that you eat 2 servings of food a week high in Omega 3 oils.
