Eating Fish With Diabetes: Salmon for Omega-3s

Eating Fish With Diabetes: Salmon for Omega-3s

Salmon is often at the top of the recommended list because it's high in omega-3 fatty acids, the “healthy” fats that can boost your heart, skin, brain, and more. As with most fish, you have a number of options for healthy cooking with diabetes, including poaching, broiling, and baking it in the oven at 350 to 400 degrees, Rico advises. “I like to just lightly saute it if the cut is not too thick or else grill it — salmon is just delicious grilled.” It is a firm fish, so it holds up well on the grate. She suggests dill as an herb that goes well with salmon, as does fresh lemon juice.
