Despite being labelled as 'fatty fish', salmon is actually low in calories and saturated fat, and has recently been evaluated as having a superior fat composition because of its rich omega-3 content. Salmon is considered an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D and selenium. It is also a very good source of protein, niacin and Vitamin B12 and a good source of phosphorus, magnesium and Vitamin B6. All these features lead to a reduced risk of inflammation and help maintain the integrity of the immune and circulatory systems.
