Mackerel Parmesan Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
Just as salmon, mackerel is said to help with cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer, age-related vision loss, and dementia thanks to its richness in omega-3 fatty acids - a type of fat that is good for your health. Next to being an excellent source of omega-3, mackerel is also a good source of vitamin D, protein, some B vitamins, and selenium.
