Salmon Mini-Cupcakes with Wasabi Mashed Potato Frosting

Salmon Wasabi Cupcake Floating in the Sky

I had a dream of salmon cupcakes floating in the sky. Why???

Hot salmon cupcakes floating in the sky…

Delicious, fun and airy, improves your brain, skin, heart and eye!

Salmon is rich in Omega-3’s—and studies have shown:

“Your mother was right: Fish is brain food. The omega-3’s from fish and fish oil, reduce the risk for dementia and cognitive decline.”*

And those wrinkles…”As we age, our fat cells in the third layer of skin thin out and get a little bumpier. That’s part of what causes the raisin-like appearance of older skin. Some how the fatty acids (DHA specifically) in fish oil and salmon help make that layer a little thicker and smoother, so that wrinkles go away and skin becomes fuller.

Plus “olive and fish oils help keep your arteries clear.”

And if these aren’t enough reasons—“DHA is so good: It helps your eyes.” **
