Why Salmon Is a Protein Powerhouse
Salmon is one of the most nutrient-dense proteins you can eat. Beyond its impressive protein content, it provides omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and B vitamins that support muscle recovery and reduce inflammation. This bowl combines it with brown rice and steamed broccoli for a complete macro-balanced meal.
