The benefits of salmon for our health
Did you know that salmon is an excellent source of protein with many health benefits? With its 20 g of protein per 100 g serving, salmon is also known to be a very good source of B vitamins, iron, magnesium and even vitamin D.
Although it is rather high in fat, its lipid profile is quite interesting. Salmon is mainly rich in unsaturated lipids and generously offers Omega-3 EPA and DHA.
