Smoked salmon is a delicacy made by curing fresh salmon through smoking, a traditional preservation method often associated with Nordic and Jewish cuisines but enjoyed universally. It is typically tender, slightly salty, and infused with a delicate smoky flavor. Rich in high-quality protein, smoked salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart and brain health. It also provides vitamins like B12, D, and selenium, which support immunity and energy levels. However, its sodium content can be significant due to the curing process, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Often served with cream cheese, bagels, or capers, smoked salmon is versatile in salads, pastas, or sushi. While it delivers many nutritional benefits, consuming it fresh and in balanced portions ensures you avoid excess sodium while reaping the protein and essential nutrients this flavorful food offers.
