About Baked salmon

Baked salmon is a flavorful and nutritious dish commonly associated with global cuisine, particularly Scandinavian, Japanese, and Mediterranean cooking. Prepared by baking fresh salmon fillets, it's typically seasoned with herbs, spices, olive oil, lemon, or garlic to enhance its natural richness. Salmon is prized for its high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked to heart and brain health. It's also an excellent source of essential nutrients like vitamin D, B vitamins, selenium, and potassium. Baking the fish helps retain its moisture and nutrients without the added fats from frying, making it a healthier preparation method. However, it’s essential to monitor portions and sodium levels if accompanied by salty marinades or sauces. Low in carbohydrates but rich in healthy fats, baked salmon is widely regarded as a wholesome option for balanced meals. Its versatility and nutrient density make it a staple for health-conscious eaters.
