Fresh salmon is a highly nutritious and versatile fish known for its rich flavor and tender texture. Originating in the cold waters of the North Atlantic and Pacific, salmon is a staple in cuisines around the globe, including Japanese, Scandinavian, and Northwestern American. Packed with high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12, D, and selenium, salmon supports heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction. The omega-3s contribute to healthy cholesterol levels and may lower the risk of chronic diseases. Fresh salmon is naturally low in saturated fat, but its richness in healthy fats makes it calorie-dense, so portion control is key. It’s also adaptable to grilling, baking, or raw dishes like sushi, making it both a healthy and delicious choice. Look for wild-caught options when possible for a sustainable meal packed with nutrients.
