Dietay Guidelines
Eating sushi can be a nutritious meal. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPyramid program lists avocado in the fruit and oil group. Salmon is included in the meat group. Eating a salmon and avocado roll, or two pieces of sushi can go toward fulfilling your recommended daily allowance of fruit, oil and meat servings.
Salmon Benefits
Salmon is a good source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. The USDA explains that most of the fat from your diet should come from certain kinds of fats, including polyunsaturated fatty acids like salmon. Eating salmon may reduce your risk of dying from heart disease.
Avocado Benefits
The California Avocado Commission reports that avocado has 3 g of heart healthy, monounsaturated fats. By eating an avocado in place of foods with high levels of saturated fats, you could lower blood cholesterol levels.
