Salmon is chock full of omega-3 fatty acids, which can decrease the risk of abnormal heartbeats (arrhythmias), lower triglyceride levels, and slow the growth of plaque in the arteries, and slightly lower blood pressure. The American Heart Association recommends eating omega-3 foods including salmon twice a week.
Salmon is a versatile food. Grill it with a rub or marinade, chop some and add to a pasta dish with fat free marinara sauce, or add to salads.
