Wild salmon is a nutrient-packed fish prized for its rich flavor and vibrant hue. A staple in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Pacific and Scandinavian dishes, it’s revered for its high-quality protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health, reduce inflammation, and improve cardiovascular function. Loaded with essential vitamins like B12 and D, as well as minerals like selenium and potassium, wild salmon contributes to strong bones, energy metabolism, and immune function. Compared to farmed salmon, it typically boasts fewer contaminants and a more natural nutrient profile. However, moderation is key, as excessive consumption may expose you to trace amounts of environmental pollutants found in all seafood. Versatile in preparation—grilled, baked, or smoked—it’s a delicious and wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
