Salmon skin is a flavorful and nutrient-packed component of the fish that’s often used in various cuisines around the world, particularly in Japanese and Scandinavian cooking. Known for its crispy texture when cooked, salmon skin is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart, brain, and joint health. It contains protein, vitamin D, and essential B vitamins, contributing to sustained energy, bone health, and cellular function. The skin also retains more of the healthy fish oils compared to the meat. However, it’s important to source salmon skin from clean, wild-caught fish to avoid potential toxins like mercury or PCBs, which can accumulate in the fatty layers. When prepared properly—grilled, baked, or fried—it creates a delicious, satisfying addition to meals while providing myriad health benefits. Enjoy it in sushi, as a savory snack, or as part of a balanced dish.
