If a meal can be made with fewer dishes to clean up then by all means that is what we should be doing! (At least this is my opinion) Don't get me wrong, I do believe in the therapeutic benefits of washing dishes (everything in our house is washed by hand since we do not have a dishwasher) but it is only therapeutic for so long and we only have so much time, ya know?
Not only is this recipe quick and low in dish use it is also high in omega 3 fatty acids EPA & DHA. These are found in seafood such as fatty fish (ex: salmon, tuna, and trout) and shellfish (ex: crab, mussels, and oysters).
Research shows some of the benefits may include:
Preventative heart health
Brain function
Eye function
Improvement in rheumatoid arthritis symptoms
Fetal growth & development as well as infancy and childhood
