Few foods pack a bigger nutritional punch than salmon—it's rich in protein, heart-helping omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D. Six ingredients make a tangy Asian dinner. You’ll get vitamin C and fiber from the zucchini, plus plenty of filling protein from the salmon. Adding a small side of whole-grain rice gives a carbohydrate boost. Salmon, like other fish, is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which helps with brain function and heart health.
