Black bears aren’t the only ones who should be munching on salmon for dinner. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids and lots of protein, salmon is easy to make and a healthy alternative to red meat. Fortunately for us, we can find it at the grocery store as easily as the black bears find it in the river.
