Health benefits salmon

Disclaimer: Statements regarding health benefits are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.

Salmon is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet according to Healthline. More specifically, it is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and decrease risk factors for disease. In addition, it is high in protein, B vitamins, potassium, and selenium.

Tips for choosing your salmon

In general, we prefer tail sections from the Pacific in our gluten and dairy-free salmon recipes. Here are the key differences:

Pacific vs Atlantic – highlighted in culinary resources from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

• Atlantic salmon:
  Known for its high-fat content and mild flavor, Atlantic salmon is primarily farmed. It is versatile, ideal for grilling and baking, and commonly found in both restaurants and grocery stores
• Pacific salmon:
  In contrast, Pacific salmon is most often wild-caught. It includes varieties like King and Sockeye, boasts a firmer texture and richer flavor, making it a favorite for its perceived freshness and suitability for a range of dishes from smoking to grilling.

Tail vs belly section

• Tail section:
  The tail section of salmon offers a firmer texture with fewer bones, making it easier to cook and eat, and is preferred by those who enjoy a leaner cut.
• Belly section:
  Richer and fattier, the belly section of salmon is known for its indulgent flavor, ideal for those who appreciate a more flavorful and moist bite.
