You may have heard you should be eating oily fish two to three times per week. Why? Because it’s jam-packed with omega-3, which (among other things) will significantly reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular and neurocognitive diseases.
And while this recommendation constitutes a range of slippery swimmers, we’d go salmon over sardines any day. So to help you meet your weekly quota, here are three delicious salmon recipes. With anti-inflammatory turmeric, antioxidant bok choy and gut-friendly miso, they’re perfect for a light and healthy dinner.
