Bristol Bay Grilled Salmon
Wild caught, Alaskan sockeye salmon is one of our favorite proteins for the grill. Salmon is widely known for it's beneficial Omega 3's, but did you know that salmon is also a good source of Vitamin E?
'Vitamin E lowers the risk of heart disease by preventing the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), thus reducing the buildup of plaque in coronary arteries. Other research has found that Vitamin E plays a protective role against cancer and the formation of cataracts, and may possibly boost the immune system in the elderly.' - Wild For Salmon website
