Salmon-Stuffed Mushrooms

Mushrooms make the best serving plates. Because of their neutral taste, they act as somewhat of a palette cleanser next to the more flavor-packed filling. This recipe uses a simple salmon stuffing and bakes it atop open-faced crimini mushrooms. Itâ€™s a serving size made easy for the gut and the eyes. Enjoy!

Salmon: is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which help to treat and prevent inflammation, promote healthy joint cartilage, decrease chances of depression, and increase cognitive function. Salmon is also full of vitamin D, which plays a key role in lowering the risk of several types of cancer, including breast, prostate and colon cancer. Because of its fat content, salmon locks moisture into skin cells, which contributes to a more youthful look, including clearer skin and healthier hair (and decreased hair loss!). The fish is great for eye and cardiovascular health as well.
