About Salmon belly

Salmon belly is a prized cut of salmon known for its rich, buttery flavor and tender texture. This section of the fish, located near the underside closest to its abdomen, has a higher fat content than other parts, making it a favorite in Japanese cuisine for dishes like sushi, sashimi, and grilled preparations. Salmon belly is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote brain function. It also provides high-quality protein, vitamins B12 and D, and essential minerals such as selenium and potassium. While its healthy fats offer substantial benefits, it should be consumed in moderation due to its caloric density. Perfect for health-conscious diners and food aficionados alike, salmon belly strikes a balance between indulgence and nutrition, embodying both delicious flavor and numerous health advantages.
