You know you should be eating more fish – this lean protein is good for your overall health, your heart and your brain. Salmon is especially good for you, thanks to all of the Omega-3 fatty acids it has. 4 ounces of salmon will have at least 2 grams of Omega-3s, along with vitamin D and selenium. Here’s why it’s a pretty perfect food if you’re trying to eat well and be healthier.
Steelhead Trout
Many of us are trying to add more fish to our diets for our health, and during Lent seafood is also a great meal on meatless Fridays! Research shows that eating fish has a huge impact on your health. The Mayo Clinic points out that eating one to two servings of fish a week could reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack by a third or more – thanks to omega-3 fatty acids.
Salmon is often touted as one of the best fish to eat – because it’s high in those omega-3s. But there’s another fish you might want to try that’s very similar to salmon. It’s called steelhead trout – and it’s on sale right now at Coborn’s and CobornsDelivers.
Steelhead trout has the same pink flesh and a flaky texture as salmon. Like salmon, it’s high in protein, those omega-3s, as well as niacin and vitamin B12. If you haven’t tried this fish before, it has a mild trout taste and has a bit more flavor than rainbow trout.
Steelhead trout holds up to several cooking methods – making it a very versatile fish to cook! You can bake, broil, poach, grill, fry or even microwave a filet! It can be substituted for salmon in most recipes as well!
