Salmon is a wonderful fish to enjoy especially if you are maintaining a heart-healthy diet. This fish is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, high in B-vitamins, is a great source of potassium, and may reduce the risk of heart disease.
The recipe not only features the “Oat Crusted Salmon” but also a side of veggie kebobs to make this a complete heart-healthy meal.
