Salmon is a great source of protein and Omega-3 fatty acid, which is great for heart and brain health. The more fat the better, when it comes to the benefits of salmon. It is also rich in carotenoid, which can be found in carrots and gives them their bright orange color as well. Carotenoid has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help the body, making salmon is one of the healthiest fish to eat.
