11 Healthy Salmon Recipes

Since I started eating macro-friendly I’ve added more protein into my diet than ever before. I enjoy the usual proteins like chicken and beef, but I love these healthy salmon recipes because they are so tasty and add variety to our weekly meals! Fish, especially salmon, is a great low-calorie protein that has the added benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and potassium that improve both heart and brain health. So if you’re looking for something delicious and healthy, here you go!
