Salmon gets a lot of credit for its high levels of omega-3 fatty acid (and rightfully so), but this tasty fish is also an excellent source of vitamin D, vitamin B-12 and lean protein. New studies<\/a>\u00a0have also found that wild salmon contains bioactive peptides, which are protein molecules that provide special support for joint cartilage, insulin effectiveness and control of inflammation in the digestive tract. This is definitely one superfood to have handy. Prepare it with our yogurt sauce for a quick, protein-packed meal.<\/p>\n

    Food for Thought<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Consider going wild with your dinner \u2014 your health will thank you. Alaskan wild-caught salmon ranks lowest<\/a> in terms of toxicity and highest in omega-3 fatty acids and protein. Not only are farm-raised fish at high risk <\/a>for PCB and antibiotic contamination, but they lack many of the benefits derived from the consumption of wild salmon, such as the bioactive peptides.
