Salmon is a great source of heart healthy fatty acids; especially that omega-3 which many American diets are deficient in. Salmon can also be a good way to get some Vitamin-D which many Americans need more and more of as we become smarter about our sun exposure. In terms of Vitamin-D wild caught salmon will have more than farmed, but farmed still has some and can still be considered a nutritious choice.
