How This Recipe Supports Your Health
Protein and Healing
Protein is essential during any healing process, especially for those navigating cancer. It provides the building blocks your body needs to repair tissues, support immune function, and rebuild strength. Clean, easily digestible sources—like wild-caught salmon—help nourish the body without overburdening it.
Why Salmon?
Salmon offers complete protein, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatory omega-3s. Because it’s naturally lower in toxins and pollutants than many other animal proteins, fresh-water, wild-caught salmon is considered one of the cleanest animal-based protein sources available.
