About Salmon skin roll

Salmon skin rolls are a type of sushi originating from Japanese cuisine, featuring cooked salmon skin typically wrapped in rice and seaweed (nori), often paired with sauces or vegetables. The salmon skin itself is rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, while the sushi roll can provide carbohydrates from rice and micronutrients like iodine from seaweed. This dish bridges traditional Japanese cooking techniques with modern sushi variations, offering both flavor and nutritional benefits. It's a versatile food that can be enjoyed as part of a meal or a snack and is typically served fresh or slightly warm to maintain the texture of the salmon skin.

Health Benefits

• Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and reduce inflammation.
• Provides protein necessary for muscle repair and growth (about 6g per 100g serving of salmon skin roll).
• Contains iodine from seaweed, which supports healthy thyroid function.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains fish, soy (if soy sauce is used), sesame (if added as garnish)

Suitable for: Pescatarian, low-carb (if rice is minimal or omitted)

Not suitable for: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free (if soy sauce contains gluten)

Selection and Storage

Store salmon skin rolls in the refrigerator if not consumed immediately, and eat within 24 hours to maintain freshness. Avoid freezing for better texture retention.
