Check the official source for current information.<\/p>\n<p>February is heart health month, and one step you can take to protect your heart health is by including 1-2 servings of fatty fish into your diet each week. Fresh fish is a great option, but canned or frozen varieties are just as good, and often more available.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Omega-3 fats and your heart<\/h2>\n<p>Fish that live in colder water have more fat and are packed with omega-3 fatty acids. These are heart-healthy and can help lower your risk of heart disease by reducing inflammation and keeping your blood vessels healthy. High-fat, cold-water fish include salmon, mackerel or trout.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is fish a great source of omega-3 fats, it also provides other important nutrients like protein, vitamins and minerals. These nutrients keep your heart strong and your body healthy. One delicious way to enjoy heart-healthy fish is by making a salmon wrap.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salmon wrap<\/h2>\n<p>Check out this 3.5-minute cooking demonstration by VA\u2019s Healthy Teaching Kitchen preparing a quick and easy salmon wrap with fish from a can or pouch.

In a small bowl, stir together the salmon, mayonnaise, and mustard<\/p>\n<p>2. Transfer the salmon mixture to the middle of the tortilla or wrap then top with the coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw<\/p>\n<p>3. Roll into a wrap, folding over the sides to seal the ends<\/p>\n<p>4. Serve right away<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipe Notes<\/h3>\n<p>The salmon mixture will keep in the refrigerator for up to four days. Consider making a larger batch for lunches throughout the week. When ready to serve, add to the tortilla(s) with the slaw and roll. Whole-wheat tortillas and wraps provide a good source of fiber, but another type can be used if desired. The salmon mixture can also be served on a whole-wheat pita, sandwich thin, or sliced bread.<\/p>\n<p>Nutrition Facts Per Serving: Calories: 230 | Total Fat: 7 g | Saturated Fat: 1 g | Sodium: 315 mg | Total Carbohydrate: 23 g | Dietary Fiber: 3 g | Protein: 18 g<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p class=\"tni-attribution\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/129045\/live-whole-health-210-heart-health-salmon-wrap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs<\/a>.
