Nutritional values

The high content of omega-3 fatty acids in salmon has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. In addition, the fish is brimming with the trace element iodine, which is important for the thyroid gland.

Salmon with pumpkin in the oven can also be prepared with other fish. For example, trout, halibut, or cod would be well suited.
