ABSTRACT

To an ageing population concerned about preventing heart disease, salmon has proven to be a tasty remedy, especially in summer when it can be grilled to perfection on the barbecue. Thanks to the worldwide growth of aquaculture, consumers can obtain farmed salmon yearround at relatively low prices. Eating ‘oily’ fish such as salmon twice a week, the American Heart Association tells us, confers the health benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids that can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death following a heart attack.
