Healthy, because
With every bite of fish you fill up on omega-3 fatty acids that our body cannot produce itself. These fatty acids improve fat metabolism and help keep blood vessels elastic and reduce "bad" cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of heart attack.
Even smarter
For an all-round balanced meal only the carbohydrates are missing. So serve a portion of noodles, potatoes or rice with the protein-rich salmon.
