About Salmon
Salmon is a nutrient-dense fish revered in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Nordic, Japanese, and North American dishes. Rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, it supports heart health, brain function, and overall well-being. The omega-3s in salmon have anti-inflammatory properties, which may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. It’s also a good source of selenium, which aids in immune function and thyroid health. While wild-caught salmon is generally lower in calories and fat, farm-raised salmon may contain more healthy fats but can also have higher levels of contaminants. Salmon is versatile, whether grilled, baked, or eaten raw in sushi, offering both culinary and nutritional benefits. However, moderate consumption is recommended to avoid potential exposure to mercury and other pollutants. Overall, salmon is a delicious and wholesome protein choice for a balanced diet.
