HEALTH & BENEFITS

Trout is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and promote heart health.
It is also a good source of lean protein.
Bacon, on the other hand, is high in saturated fat and sodium, so it should be consumed sparingly.
The parsley used as a garnish provides a boost of vitamin C and other antioxidants.
