McLEAN, Va. – For its first online initiative of the new year, The National Fisheries Institute’s Salmon Council is mobilizing behind American Heart Month as a way to reinforce salmon as a nutritious and delicious protein with proven benefits for heart health.
In addition to leveraging its own expansive reach through Hooked on Salmon Facebookand Pinterest channels, the Salmon Council has established partnerships with two notable online influencers, Sara Welch of Diethood and Katerina Petrovska of Dinner at the Zoo.
The influencers’ recipe creations for the American Heart Month emphasis:
- Ginger Glazed Salmon with Brussels Sprouts and Asparagus, by Diethood
- Salmon with Avocado Salsa, by Dinner at the Zoo
Both recipes underscore the ease of preparation and delicious taste of salmon in addition to its powerful nutritional benefits.
“Salmon is consistently praised for the nutritive benefits its heart-healthy omega-3s deliver,” said Brandon Phillips, Senior Director of Communications and Advocacy with NFI. “Through a host of tactics, including our powerful influencer partnerships, social media activity and news media outreach, we are shining the spotlight on salmon as not only heart-healthy but also delicious and the perfect protein selection for enjoyment at home or in restaurants.”
Exposure for the organization’s customized content, which is being pushed out on the influencers’ blogs and amplified across social channels run by the Salmon Council, already has surpassed 578,000 impressions to date, with expanded engagement occurring daily.
