HEALTH & BENEFITS

Salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for brain function, and heart health. The dish is low in carbohydrates, high in protein, and loaded with nutrients like vitamin D and B12. Chives and garlic contain antioxidants that may help protect against cancer and inflammation. However, the dish is also high in saturated fat and calories due to the cream and butter used in the sauce, so moderation is key.
