    Baked Feta Pasta with Salmon

    One of my favorite things over the past year has been trying new viral recipes at home!  This take on baked feta pasta adds a punch of protein power with some delicious Norwegian salmon. 

    What is most important with health and wellness is balance!  The message I want to send my family is that all foods fit! The 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the American Heart Association recommend eating fish twice a week.

    So, when I am making a pasta dish, I like to incorporate a veggie and a healthy protein for variety, texture and added nutrition. Norwegian seafood contains a variety of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and offers many benefits including heart health, brain development, healthy vision, cognitive health and longevity. Salmon is a nutritious choice to add to a pasta dish like this. 

    Salmon from Norway makes sense because it is a versatile protein, sustainably produced and so flavorful!
