Salmon head is a nutritious delicacy often used in traditional Asian cuisines, particularly Japanese and Filipino dishes, where it’s commonly featured in soups and stews. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon head provides heart-healthy fats essential for brain function and reducing inflammation. It also delivers a good source of protein, vitamins like B12, and minerals such as selenium, which support immune health. The collagen-rich skin and cartilage contribute to joint health and skin elasticity. While flavorful and nutrient-packed, salmon head can also contain higher fat levels than other parts of the fish, so moderation is recommended for those monitoring caloric intake. Its bold taste and tender texture make it a popular choice for those seeking to reduce food waste while enjoying wholesome, nutrient-dense meals.
