About Salmon mentaiko nigiri

Salmon Mentaiko Nigiri combines the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine and the bold taste of marinated pollock roe, known as mentaiko. This sushi consists of a small, hand-formed bed of vinegared sushi rice topped with a slice of fresh, premium salmon that is often lightly seared, then crowned with mentaiko, adding a savory, umami richness. Originating in Japan, this dish is celebrated for its balance of textures and flavors. Salmon provides high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. The mentaiko adds a salty kick but can be high in sodium, making moderation recommended for those monitoring salt intake. Sushi rice contributes carbohydrates for energy, while the minimal use of added oils helps keep it relatively low in fat. A small portion fits well into a balanced diet, but pairing it with fresh vegetables can enhance nutritional benefits.
