Those afraid of canned meats should take another look into the world of canned seafood! While tuna fish has been the staple for generations, today there is a whole new kind of canned fish making lunches, snacks and dinners a whole lot easier. The perfect answer for an entirely natural seafood product in a can is canned salmon. With or without the skin, and the delicate calcium and magnesium rich bones included, it’s a full on seafood experience with a great flavor. Salmon that comes from the city waters of Alaska is heralded all over the world for being the freshest and the best, and the great flavor is retained even when it’s packaged in a can!
It’s convenient to open up some canned salmon and put it on bread with mayo just like a twist on the standard tuna sandwich. It can also be a great addition to pastas, burgers, or simply garden salads. With no additional cooking required, there’s no reason to slave over a hot over, stove or grill in the summer just to get the amazing nutritional and taste benefits of salmon. Rich in omega-3s canned salmon, when incorporated with other kinds of seafood into a diet 2 to 3 times per week is shown to be great for the body and mind. These fatty acid-omega-3s are not found in just any food, but luckily seafood is a great source. Regular consumption protects the heart, and strengthens it reducing the risk of heart failure, heart attack and even stroke. These beneficial fatty acids may also benefit the health of those with diabetes, immune and inflammatory conditions, and even may improve or prevent some mental conditions. In addition to all these great benefits, omega-3s are beneficial in fetal development, visual function, and more! With all the ease of simply opening canned salmon and having a tasty and nutritious meal and the health benefits of doing it regularly, it’s a shame everyone isn’t hooked on salmon, fresh from the icy waters of Alaska, or from a can!
To get some easy recipe ideas for each and every meal of the day whether breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack in between, head online for some good ideas. For a twist on an old favorite, simply add canned salmon in place of tuna or another seafood staple. Before you know it your meals will be more delicious and nutritious than ever!
