Salmon is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for brain function, heart health, and reducing inflammation in the body. Besides being a great source of protein, salmon is low in calories and packed with vitamins such as vitamin D and B12. Due to its high omega-3 content, consuming salmon regularly has been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease.
