While salmon can be called an âoily fish,â those oils are actually good, or âunsaturated,â fats called Omega-3 fatty acids. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Omega-3s can improve your cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation. While you can add Omega-3s to your diet naturally through some vegetables, fishâincluding salmonâare the best food-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon is also rich with vitamin D which helps improve bone health, and is a great lean protein to aid in workout recovery.Â
