Nutrition Tip
For an alternative take on the traditional hamburger, try creating this salmon burger. Not only does this recipe include a delicious blend of flavors, but the salmon is an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon is also a good source of B vitamins, thiamine, niacin, and Vitamin D.
While salmon is great for your health, consider purchasing wild salmon fillets. Wild salmon has more calcium, iron, potassium, and zinc than farmed salmon. Wild salmon also has less sodium.
