Salmon is one of the most nutritious seafood products that you can eat. Just remember to choose wild salmon so you get the full nutritional benefits. It is low in calories, rich in protein and contains omega-3 fatty acids, something every cell in our body requires.
Pistachios also contain healthy fats, antioxidants, protein & fibre. They are high in Vitamin B6 and rich in potassium, and lower in calories than other nuts. Combining the salmon and pistachios makes this entrée an extremely healthy choice.
