Grilled Salmon
Salmon has a lot of nutritional benefits and is delicious! Salmon is filled with protein, making it a slow-digesting food, leaving you feeling full. It’s filled with vitamins and minerals to set off your metabolism. There are several ways to cook salmon, but we prefer grilling it to maintain the most nutritional benefits to your wellbeing. While it may be more costly than other protein sources, salmon can substitute meats that contain unhealthy fats that are bad for your heart.
