Source of Protein
Protein has many roles in the functioning of the human body. It helps build and repair body tissue, keeps cells in good shape and provides a source of energy. Although true protein deficiency is rare in developed countries, low protein intake may cause muscle wasting and increase the risk of fractures.
Each meal should contain around 20 to 30 grams of protein, according to research. Salmon is rich in high-quality protein, with around 22 to 25 grams present in a 3.5-ounce serving.
