About Salmon with dill

Salmon with dill is a dish featuring salmon, a nutrient-rich fatty fish, seasoned with dill, a fragrant herb. Salmon is native to the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans but is widely consumed globally in cuisines such as Scandinavian, American, and Japanese. It is renowned for its high protein content, omega-3 fatty acids (especially EPA and DHA), and an array of vitamins and minerals including Vitamin D, B12, and selenium. Dill adds flavor and brings its own nutritional benefits, featuring antioxidants, Vitamin C, and iron. This pairing is celebrated for its simple preparation and health benefits, making it a staple in heart-healthy and Mediterranean-style diets.
