Health Advice: Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain and heart health, and asparagus is a good source of fiber and vitamins.
Is salmon and asparagus good for you?
The salmon provides protein, omega 3s, high amounts of vitamin B12, and vitamin D (wild salmon has even more vitamin D). Asparagus also has fiber and many other vitamins and minerals, but lacks B12 and vitamin D, so they make the perfect pair of both nutrients and flavor!
Olive oil is one healthy option. Summary: Frying can increase the amount of fat in your fish and negatively affect its ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids. If you’re frying, pan-fry rather than deep-fry your fish, and use a healthy oil like olive oil.
