Salmon fillet, no skin, offers a versatile and nutritious protein option originating from cold-water regions, including Alaska, Norway, and Scotland. Renowned for its mild yet rich flavor, this cut is ideal for a variety of cuisines, from Mediterranean dishes to Asian-inspired marinades. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, salmon promotes heart health, supports brain function, and reduces inflammation. It is also rich in high-quality protein, vitamins B12, D, and selenium. Removing the skin lowers fat content slightly and may appeal to those seeking a leaner option. However, salmon remains a naturally rich source of healthy fats and essential nutrients. Best enjoyed grilled, baked, or poached, it’s a satisfying addition to a balanced diet. For optimal health benefits, opt for wild-caught varieties, which are often lower in contaminants compared to some farm-raised alternatives.
