Nutrition Notes

What Makes This Recipe Healthy?

All of the ingredients in this recipe add to your nutrition bottom line in some way. The star of the recipe—the salmon—is jam-packed with nutrition. You’ll get a healthy dose of protein—almost half a day’s worth in this recipe alone. If you use wild-caught salmon, you’ll also get more than a day’s worth of vitamin B12 and about three-quarters of your daily selenium, a mineral that has antioxidant properties. Salmon also has other antioxidants, including astaxanthin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Compared to other types of salmon, sockeye salmon provides the highest amount of vitamin D—about 70% of your daily needs in one 3.5 oz portion, according to theUSDA. As if that weren’t enough, salmon also gives you lots of heart-healthy omega 3s.

Yes, you can use 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary as a substitute.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
