Yes, salmon is good for you. It’s high in protein and low in saturated fat. It contains vitamin D and is one of the best sources of B12. For the calorie-conscious, a single serving of salmon is less than 400 calories.

Of course, salmon is also packed with omega-3, fatty acids the human body can’t produce on its own. Omega-3 has been linked with a decrease in the risk for certain types of cancer, cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and even dementia. 

Try to aim for two portions of seafood in your diet a week and if you aren’t taken any omega-3 supplements, aim to include salmon as one of your portions.
