Ikura, or salmon roe, is a popular delicacy in Japanese cuisine often enjoyed as a sushi topping, garnish, or side dish. These vibrant orange pearls are rich in nutrients, offering a concentrated source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, D, and B12, and essential minerals like selenium. Omega-3s in ikura support heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation, while its vitamin content promotes immune health and energy. However, ikura is moderately high in cholesterol and sodium, which should be considered by those monitoring these nutrients in their diet. Typically cured with salt or soy sauce, its bold, briny flavor pairs well with rice and other dishes. A delicacy revered for both nutrition and taste, ikura reflects centuries-old culinary traditions while offering notable health benefits when consumed in moderation.
