Maple Tamari Glazed Wild Salmon

Wild salmon is simply one of the best good mood foods you can consume. The perfect storm for your brain and nervous system, while also supporting bone, heart, skin and eye health. Compared to farmed fish, wild is more nutrient dense, offering MORE omega-3 fatty acid content as well as other vital vitamins and minerals important for supporting conversion of amino acids (protein) into good mood neuro-chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. These include, vitamin Bs (like B12, B9/Folate, B6), vitamin D, iron, magnesium, and zinc. One 3 oz. serving also contains about 21 grams of protein and 7 grams of fat. To optimize and boost brain health, and support stress add wild fish like salmon into the mix about 3 times weekly.
