Sheet-Pan Roasted Salmon & Vegetables
Salmon is a nutritional powerhouse. Loaded with protein, heart-healthy omega-3s, antioxidants, vitamin B12, selenium and potassium, salmon has been linked with a ton of health benefits. All this nutrition has been shown to decrease inflammation, reduce blood pressure, lower cancer risk and keep the nervous system healthy.
