5. Salmon

This fatty fish is high in both protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s support muscle growth and reduce inflammation, which can speed up recovery, and you don’t need to eat a lot ot see the benefits. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) notes, that a 3-ounce serving of salmon contains about 17 grams of protein and 1.5 g of omega-3 fatty acids, making for the perfect glute focused meal.
