Not only do you get a healthy dose of omega-3’s from our salmon, but these delicious fillets provide antioxidants such as taurine and heart-healthy vitamin B12. They also contain selenium (shown to promote healthy brain function and support the immune system) and packed with protein which aides in muscle growth. Pretty perfect, right?
