Eating healthy unsaturated fats, like those found in salmon,has been shown to improve cholesterol levels. In fact, fish provides a high-protein, healthy alternative to red meat, which is high in saturated fats. Salmon is a great alternative to red meat because it’s a nutrient-dense food that can help raise good cholesterol levels. Plus, it’s tasty!

An average 3-ounce fillet of cooked Atlantic salmon contains 23 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat, most of which is healthy unsaturated fat. It’s also high in vitamins D, B-12, and B-6, and is a good source of magnesium, niacin, omega-3 fatty acids, and selenium.
