Smoked salmon is a flavorful delicacy made by curing salmon fillets with salt and then smoking them, often over wood chips for a distinctive aroma and taste. Originating from traditional preservation methods in Scandinavian and Eastern European cuisines, it’s now enjoyed globally in dishes like bagels, salads, and pasta. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, smoked salmon provides heart-healthy fats, aiding in brain function and reducing inflammation. It’s also a good source of protein, vitamins B6 and B12, and selenium, supporting energy production and immune health. However, it can be high in sodium due to the curing process, which may be a consideration for those watching their salt intake. Opting for moderate portions and pairing it with nutrient-dense foods can help balance its nutritional profile. Perfect for adding indulgence and nourishment to meals, smoked salmon combines tradition with wellness.
