Salmon is one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. It has lots of omega-3 fatty acids—which can decrease inflammation and lower blood pressure—and it’s packed with tons of vitamins and minerals. Salmon is also a great source of high-quality protein, which plays a number of important roles in the body, including protecting bone health and maintaining muscle mass during weight loss and the aging process.

And unlike flaky fish, which tends to fall apart, salmon can handle the grill. In fact, grilling is one of the fastest and easiest ways to cook this fish.
