Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation, may lower cholesterol levels (especially when replacing other sources of saturated and trans fats in the diet), and support heart and brain health!

Salmon is a great and delicious source of omega-3. Enjoy it as a burger with a side salad for the perfect summer meal!
