CONS

Salmon is a high-fat fish, so this recipe is not the best choice for those following a low-fat diet.
Additionally, the recipe uses heavy cream which adds extra calories and fat.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Salmon is an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids which are important for heart health. The mushrooms used in the stuffing are low in calories and fat, high in fiber, and rich in vitamins and minerals such as potassium, selenium, and vitamin D. However, the addition of heavy cream may negate some of these health benefits.
