Salmon is a great source of polyunsaturated fat (healthy fats) because it is rich in Omega- 3 fatty acids. Including salmon in your diet can support heart health, brain function, skin elasticity, hair growth and more. It also contains many vitamins and minerals as well as having anti inflammatory properties. Additionally, Capers are a fantastic source of antioxidants!
Experts recommend all adults eat at least two servings of seafood per week, especially fish that are high in omega-3s like salmon. It is suggested that children eat 1-2 servings of seafood a week starting at age 2.
