Your intake of Salmon is okay. I trust that you have other healthy habits as well. Visit this site for info about fish: https://www.fda.gov/food/consumers/advice-about-eating-fish For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
