Baked Salmon with Brown Rice & Edamame
A ginger-soy salmon bowl with 42 g of protein and 520 kcal — leading the rotation for marine omega-3 (~2.2 g EPA+DHA) and isoflavones in a single dinner.
A ginger-soy glazed salmon fillet over brown rice with steamed edamame — 42 g of protein and 520 kcal — the longevity-menu leader for marine omega-3 and isoflavone density in a single dinner. Ready in 25 minutes; most of that is oven time.

Key micronutrients
- Omega-3 EPA+DHA: ~2.2 g (from salmon)
- Isoflavones: ~17 mg (from edamame)
- Vitamin D: ~600 IU (from salmon)
- Magnesium: ~80 mg
Why it earns a spot in the rotation
- Marine omega-3 depth. ~2.2 g of EPA+DHA from the salmon fillet alone — the dose range covered in most cardiovascular-benefit trials. Plant-source ALA cannot substitute directly for the long-chain forms.
- Natural vitamin D source. Salmon is one of the few food sources that contributes meaningful vitamin D (~600 IU per 150 g serving).
- Isoflavones from edamame. Edamame adds ~17 mg of soy isoflavones alongside complete plant protein — an uncommon combination in a single bowl.
- Protein density without excess calories. 42 g of protein in 520 kcal keeps the protein-to-calorie ratio high and supports muscle protein synthesis at dinner.
