For optimal muscle repair, consuming 30 grams of protein post-workout helps stimulate recovery and reduce inflammation. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which not only aid muscle recovery but also support joint health, making it a superior protein choice for active individuals.

Why Salmon is a Great Protein Source

Salmon provides lean protein and healthy fats, making it a perfect post-workout meal that supports muscle synthesis and reduces soreness. Omega-3s also play a role in reducing muscle stiffness and improving recovery time.
