About Skin on salmon

Skin-on salmon is a versatile and nutritious seafood option widely used in cuisines around the globe, particularly those of Scandinavian, Japanese, and North American origin. This preparation retains the salmon’s skin during cooking, enhancing flavor and texture while offering added nutrients. The skin, when crisped, provides a satisfying crunch and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential vitamins like B12 and D. These nutrients promote heart health, support brain function, and maintain healthy skin and hair. Salmon is also low in saturated fat and an excellent source of antioxidants like astaxanthin, which combat inflammation. However, it’s important to consider its preparation method, as frying or excessive seasoning can increase calorie and sodium content. For optimal health benefits, grilling, baking, or pan-searing with minimal oil is recommended. Skin-on salmon is a flavorful, nutrient-dense choice for those seeking a balanced and health-conscious diet.
