Studies show by eating salmon 2x per week it can reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure can even protect your skin from the aging effects of the sun! We've partnered up with Kvaroy Arctic and curated this mouthwatering recipe elevating your next salmon dish. The flavor of Kvaroy Arctic salmon is informed by the farm's breathtaking location. The waters near Kvaroy island in Norway are cool and clear, with a deep-fjord curent that keeps the water fresh and helps exercise the salmon, reducing fat levels and giving this beautiful fish a pristine, clean flavor. And by supporting sustainable fishing as Kvaroy Arctic practices, the oceans and freshwater wildlife populations are guaranteed for the future.
