Member's Mark Frozen Atlantic Salmon Fillet Portions
"Frozen salmon fillets are perfect for fast healthy meals. They take just 15 minutes to thaw, cook quickly, and are packed with protein and hard-to-find vitamin D," says Bianca Tamburello, RDN on behalf of the Chilean Salmon Marketing Council. She adds that the Member's Mark Salmon Fillets are "conveniently individually wrapped and from Chile, making them particularly high in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats."
