Did you know salmon is not only high in protein it’s also a great source of healthy fats - specifically omega-3 fatty acids? Plus, salmon is also a great source of Vitamin B12 and potassium.

But why is this important? Omega-3 is classed as an essential fatty acid (EFA) because our bodies are unable to produce it naturally, meaning we have to consume it from dietary sources!
