About Spicy salmon

Spicy salmon is a dish originating from Japanese cuisine, commonly featured in sushi rolls, poke bowls, or as a standalone protein option. This dish combines salmon—known for its high omega-3 fatty acid content—with seasoning blends that often include chili, garlic, and soy-based sauces. Salmon is an excellent source of protein, vitamin D, and B vitamins such as B12, while the spices used add antioxidants and may boost metabolism. A 3-ounce serving of salmon typically contains around 22 grams of protein and provides nearly 55% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin D, making it a nutrient-dense food option.
