Salmon with Green Beans

Fresh salmon and shrimp are probably the most consumed fish and shellfish in the US, and not just because they are so delicious and easy to prepare. A well balanced, healthy, and nutritious diet is a target and the aim for most Americans, and fish and seafood are great sources of many vitamins and minerals.

Oily fish, the group that includes salmon and mackerel, are also a super source of high omega-3 fatty acids, which are great to keep your heart healthy. That said, we should all be looking to add more fish in our diet, including more oily fish, like baked, grilled, or steamed salmon.

Fish that is steamed, baked, or grilled often in little or no added oil is a healthier choice than simply deep-fried or battered fish. 

To ensure the sustainability of our fish supplies today and in the future, we should look to try to consume a far wider variety of both fish and seafood and to buy from trustworthy and sustainable sources.
