Salmon is packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fats along with plenty of vitamin D, which helps to regulate insulin levels. Adding blueberries to the raita (a yogurt condiment) is a great way to up the nutrition, flavor, and color of your burger. Grilling is just one simple way to use up a carton of blueberries a week.
