Health Benefits

Salmon is one of the few foods that is incredibly rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids which is a game changer for anyone who suffers from joint pain or heart problems. Salmon is also loaded with vitamin D, vitamin B-12, antioxidants and a whole boatload of other nutrients. This fish truly is just chock full of goodness! As always, we strongly recommend purchasing wild caught salmon, as the farmed raised variety not only has much less nutrition density, but is also typically treated with chemicals and other unwanted substances.

Brown rice is high in dietary fiber and when butter is added, it does a nice job of helping to balance out blood sugar.

This is a simple, yet very healthful and filling meal for you and your family!
