Salmon filets are a highly nutritious and flavorful protein sourced from a variety of salmon species, often native to North American, European, and Asian waters. Known for their rich, flaky texture and vibrant orange-to-pink hue, these filets are a staple in Western and Asian cuisines, frequently featured in dishes like grilled salmon, sushi, and hearty salads. Salmon is prized for being an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which may promote heart and brain health, as well as high-quality protein, vitamin D, and selenium. It's naturally low in saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy choice. While fresh, wild-caught salmon is often preferred for its nutrient density, farmed salmon is also widely available but may be higher in fat and calories. To maximize health benefits, salmon filets are best prepared through grilling, baking, or steaming, avoiding heavy creams or fried preparations that add excess calories.
