It is easy to enjoy a healthy diet full of great tasting food when seafood is added to the mix. Salmon in particular is a great ingredient to any diet. Packed full of taste and nutrients, salmon is not only a delicious ingredient. It benefits one's health in a variety of ways thanks to the many nutrients found in this pink fish. Found in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans as well as the Great Lakes, salmon's health benefits make it a great choice to consider in place of meats full of saturated fats.
 
Pasta is a popular ingredient in many dishes, but can also come with high health risks. Refined grains are not healthy as they are high in sugars and carbohydrates. Pasta is an example of such refined grains, and are devoid of most nutrients including essential fatty acids. Whole wheat pasta contains almost three times the amount of minerals and nutrients than it's tasty counterpart does and by easily combining it with some healthy salmon, a new twist on your favourite pasta dish leaves your palate satiated and looking for more.
 
Salmon is a great ingredient to add to any pasta dish as its unique flavor can be showcased in easy-to-prepare recipes. Combining the healthy benefits of salmon to whole wheat pasta, a much healthier version of favourite pasta dishes can be enjoyed in a fraction of the time it takes to prepare traditional dishes.
 
For people with an active lifestyle and who are looking for healthy alternatives to a fast food menu, there are many recipes online that use seafood and salmon specifically in quick and simple ways. Salmon is easy to add to any recipe as a healthy alternative to meat and poultry which are higher in saturated fat. Using it in a healthy whole wheat pasta dish is just another way of adding seafood to one's diet that makes meal-time quick, easy and creative!

Why stop there?
I won't lie, pasta with salmon instead of a regular bolognese sauce is fantastic! I probably eat it about twice a week. But why stop at pasta? Canned salmon is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in many recipes ranging from the previously mentioned incredible pasta dishes, to the humble salmon sandwich. Using canned salmon in your meals is an easy and fast way to get the Omega-3 fatty acids recommended by the Canada food guide. It’s great for both a packed meal on the go, or a family dinner!

Salmon's Omega 3 Helps Kids Learn
In addition to the nutritional benefits of salmon for the body, brain health and function is dramatically increased by the consumption of the Omega 3 fatty acid found in this fish. It plays such an important part of brain development that doctors recommend women consume plenty of salmon and other omega-3 sources while pregnant as it can lead to higher IQ's and faster function later on in the child's life!
