    Salmon is a nutrition powerhouse perfect for summer meals! Rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, and vitamin D, salmon supports brain health, reduces inflammation, and keeps you full and energized. Summer is the ideal time to enjoy salmon bowls—bright, balanced meals that are as fun to build as they are to eat. Start with a base of leafy greens, rice or quinoa, then add grilled or baked salmon. Top with colorful veggies, seasonal fruits like mango or pineapple, a sprinkle of seeds, and a drizzle of light vinaigrette or yogurt-based dressing. These bowls are endlessly customizable, quick to prepare, and perfect for picnics or backyard dinners. Eat well, feel good, and celebrate summer with every bite!
