Salmon

Salmon is a fatty fish prized in many cuisines worldwide for its rich, oily flesh and versatility—fillets are commonly grilled, baked, pan-seared or used raw in dishes like sushi. It is especially valued for its distinctive flavor and firm texture, and is often sourced wild or farmed depending on region. Nutritionally, Salmon is notable for its heart-healthy omega-3 fats, providing about 2200mg per 100g, along with high-quality protein and important micronutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium. It is low in carbohydrates and fiber. From a health perspective, Salmon is considered a nutrient-dense choice: it supplies complete protein, beneficial unsaturated fats that support cardiovascular and brain health, and key vitamins/minerals commonly lacking in many diets.
