Smoked salmon is a delicacy derived from fresh salmon that has been cured and smoked to enhance its flavor and shelf life. This protein-rich food is a staple in many cuisines, particularly in Scandinavian, Jewish, and Pacific Northwest traditions. Typically made from salmon fillets, the curing process involves salt, which helps preserve the fish and adds flavor. Smoked salmon is a powerhouse of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and reduce inflammation. It is also high in B vitamins, selenium, and other essential nutrients. However, its sodium content can be significant due to the curing process, so it may not be ideal for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Whether enjoyed on bagels with cream cheese or as part of elegant hors d'oeuvres, smoked salmon is a nutritional and culinary delight prized for its rich flavor and health-supportive properties.
