Salmon health benefits

I try to eat fish two times a week. Salmon is quite fat fish, but it includes polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3 fatty acids, extremely valuable for the body. Of course it’s also a great source of protein. If it comes to vitamins, you can assimilate from it a lot of D and B vitamins.

However, you should pay attention to where your salmon comes from. In many markets there are breeding fishes. Actually, pink or orange color of salmon comes from special feed additive. Breeding salmon has more omega-3 fatty acids, but it has less vitamins. The best option would be to buy salmon from ecological farming, which are strictly regulated by EU law.

Ingredients

Directions

• If you’ve got a thicker piece of salmon (around 1 1/2″ thick) – bake it for a few minutes before making a crust. Make sure to put pieces of salmon close to each other.
  If you’ve got a thinner piece- the topping can be added right away.

Notes

• If you don’t have or don’t want to use macadamia nuts – you can use pecans as well.
