Alaskan Smoked Salmon - Tastes Great

By Sherry Shantel

Alaskan smoked salmon, with its bold flavor and vibrant color, is a favorite for many. Eaten with a bagel and cream cheese, or as the centerpiece of a meal, or in a summer salad, it's a delicious snack or meal for the family. But did you know that its healthy too?

Yes, Alaskan smoked salmon is healthy! While it's tasting great, it's also helping to protect your heart. But how can that be? It may be fish but it tastes great, there's no way something that delicious can be good for you?

Because it's filled with Omega-3 fatty acids. What makes Alaskan smoked salmon taste so great is also what helps to keep your healthy by protecting your heart. I'm sure you're thinking, but it's a fat, how can it possibly do that.

Well this particular fat is medially proven to be good for your heart. It helps to think your blood, much like aspirin does, and therefore lowers your risk of heart attack and stroke. How great is that? Alaskan smoked salmon is healthy and great tasting!

There are many different options when deciding on which healthy Alaskan salmon you'd like to purchase. Wild salmon grows to maturity in the wild, and is therefore thought by some to be healthier for you, as a leaner fish.

Farm raised salmon is another good choice. Because it's raised in a closed tank, there's no mercury content, which can be a worry with ocean caught salmon. Which means you can eat it each and every day!

Smoked salmon also has other benefits. Because it's got plenty of protein, it helps you to stay full all day without snacking. It also gives you the burst of energy that you need to get through your long day.

Alaskan smoked salmon is healthy. It tastes amazing, and it's amazing for you, helping you stay heart healthy, and full and energized all day. The next time that you're hungry for a snack, you should pick Alaskan smoked salmon.
