Wild-caught salmon is very high in omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are known as essential fatty acids. Salmon is also a great source of protein, selenium, niacin, vitamin B12, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin B6.
It's important when shopping for tinned salmon that you also pick a good, reputable brand ensuring it is wild and sustainably caught and preferably packaged in a BPA-free can.
