CANutrition Tip: Salmon is a cold-water fish that is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, known to help relieve inflammatory conditions. There is also evidence that including regular fish meals can help reduce risk of breast, prostate and bowel cancer risks. Try to buy wild salmon if available.

600g salmon fillet (no bones)
1/4 cup of soy sauce (light)
