10 Healthy and Super Easy Salmon Dinner Recipes

Forget about kale, Salmon is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, the ultimate superfood. Including salmon in your diet will boost your mind and body in many ways thanks to its nutrient density.

If you’ve been on a big push to eat less red meat, Salmon is most certainly a wonderful alternative. It is one of the most balanced sources of protein, rich in Omega-3, and a range of B group vitamins which help protect your brain. It’s rich in Omega-3 fats and rich in selenium which helps build your immunity and rich with antioxidants which helps improve your skin and hydration.

Thank you to leading Australian nutritionist, Susie Burrell, and Tassal for allowing me to share these mouthwatering Tassal Super Salmon recipes with you. Enjoy!
