SALMON HEAD SINIGANG

Salmon is extremely rich in omega-3 fatty acids which have many powerful benefits for both body and brain. From maintaining heart health to fighting inflammation to reducing anxiety, they're vital for optimal health.

Pick up salmon head at your local fish market where they can usually be found at $2-3/lb, inexpensive and in our opinion one of the best cuts on this fish as they're packed with flavor and delightful textures. ​You can substitue any cut of salmon but in our opinion, the fattier the better for Sinigang.

Sinigang is considered by some to be the national dish of the Philippines. Try the quick recipe below, done cooking in just 10 minutes!

It's a wonderful, refreshing soup that packs a sour punch via tamarind and green mango.
