About Salmon fat
Salmon fat is the rich, flavorful oil naturally found in salmon meat, prized in various cuisines for its taste and nutritional benefits. Originating primarily from cold-water species like wild Pacific or Atlantic salmon, this fat is laden with omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which are essential for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. Salmon fat is often incorporated into dishes ranging from sushi to grilled fillets, or rendered into oil for cooking. While highly beneficial when consumed in moderation, it is calorie-dense, so portion control is important for those mindful of their calorie intake. It also contains vitamin D and healthy monounsaturated fats, supporting bone health and balanced cholesterol levels. However, farmed salmon may contain slightly higher levels of unhealthy saturated fats and environmental contaminants compared to wild species. Selecting sustainably sourced salmon ensures access to its robust nutrition while maintaining ecological and dietary balance.
