Salmon contains DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), a type of omega three fatty acid that is good for brain health. Take note whether your conversation is more lively, interesting, and coherent. Of course it doesn't happen that fast! However, low DHA intake has been associated with brain decline, forgetfulness and a greater risk of Alzheimer's in later years. Eat some fish today to help improve your brain health.
Salmon is a good source of protein (25 grams of protein in 4 oz.) and is also high in omega 3s and low in saturated fats to help decrease your risk of heart disease.

Tips:
You can use any type of potato, but new or baby potatoes work well since you simply have to halve or quarter them to get nice sized chunks (peeling not necessary).
I also have tried sweet potatoes, which are an excellent source of Vitamin A.
If you prefer, you can use fresh parsley and dill. Try 3 tbsp of fresh parsley and 1 1/2 tbsp of fresh dill and adjust from there to taste. Spices and herbs have very few calories!
Add rosemary and a few almond slices on the green beans for an elegant twist.
