Healthy, because
Salmon provides not only plenty of protein but also unsaturated fatty acids, which are important for the heart and blood vessels. It also includes various vitamins and minerals. One portion of this dish easily covers your daily requirement of vitamins B6 and B12.
Even smarter
The crispy skin of the salmon fillet tastes great and keeps the fish juicy. If you're watching your calories, you can remove the skin after grilling to save fat.
