Healthy, because
The many omega-3 fatty acids from salmon improve concentration and memory and protect against vasoconstriction and high cholesterol levels, while the proteins from the fish support muscle building and maintenance. The tomatoes contains lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant that improves many different body functions.
