6 Great Ways to Add Salmon to Your Holiday Traditions
When you think of Thanksgiving, salmon is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. However, if you’re looking for an alternative to turkey, serving salmon on your holiday table is a great way to start a new, healthy tradition. Not only is salmon juicy and delicious, but it’s also loaded with omega-3 (good) fats that are good for your health. Salmon is a versatile choice for your holiday table. Whether you choose to serve salmon as part of the main event or as a pre-game appetizer, serving salmon is a way to show that you care about serving great tasting and healthy foods too.
Choosing to eat more salmon in place of other meats (poultry, beef, pork) is a great way to trade up your protein choice for a more nutritious and sustainable option. A unique bonus of choosing Superior Fresh salmon is that it provides nearly 2x the omega-3 fats as compared to other farmed salmon. We raise our salmon on a high-quality organic diet with marine ingredients that salmon eat in the wild. And if the superior nutrition wasn’t enough to make you love our products, our entire company is built upon sustainability and our seafood sets a new level for “sustainable seafood!”
If you’re looking to make salmon part of your new holiday tradition, we hope that these 6 ideas inspire you to consider adding salmon as part of your annual holiday tradition.
