When olive oil is heated its chemistry changes and it becomes a much less healthy fat. Use olive oil uncooked, like on salads, etc. For cooking, the healthiest oil is avocado oil.
And fats in fish like salmon is a very healthy fat as well.
Sorry that I’m being annoyingly nit-picky in this thread, but it’s my field of expertise. 😛
Heating EVOO does not significantly change the nutrient profile or damage the antioxidants, and the amount of trans fat produced by the heat is negligible, so long as it’s not heated past its smoke point, which is around 375F. And, believe me, you’ll know when you’ve done this because it smokes and stinks!
