WILD SALMON, BUTTER & KALE
The National Institutes of Health recommends an omega-3 daily intake of 1.6 grams for men and 1.1 grams for women. Omega-3 cannot be synthesized by the body itself so it must be obtained through diet. On top of fish oil capsules, nuts and vegetables such as walnuts, grass-fed butter, flax seeds and deep-sea fish also contain such unsaturated fatty acids.
You’ll find an abundance of omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish, such as our feature salmon.
The bottom line
We can’t guarantee upping your omega-3s, will help you live until 110 or 120, but it probably won’t hurt your quest. Omega-3s are associated with dozens of health benefits, so eat your salmon and sprinkle extra flax seeds into your smoothie.
While we know salmon is a wonderful source of omega fatty acids. WILD Salmon is an exceptional source of omega-3 fat, and it’s even better topped with a bit of grass-fed butter. Lemon lends the acidity, cutting the richness of the fatty fish, then add your fresh herbs to add flavor and antioxidants. Fantastic taste, healthy and easy…so here’s a great recipe to get your omega-3’s down the hatch!

- Place the salmon fillets on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Rub with 1 tbsp butter or coconut oil, season with sea salt, and top with any left over butter or coconut oil.
