About Temaki salmon

Temaki salmon is a hand-rolled sushi cone originating from Japan, typically wrapped in nori (seaweed) and filled with seasoned rice, fresh salmon, and various toppings. Salmon, the main ingredient, is a nutrient-dense fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, and an array of vitamins and minerals including vitamin D, B vitamins, and selenium. This dish is an integral part of Japanese cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity, versatility, and nutritional richness. Temaki is traditionally enjoyed fresh and is ideal for customized toppings based on individual preferences. With salmon as the star, temaki provides a balance of essential nutrients and is a great source of lean protein and heart-healthy fats.

Health Benefits

• Supports heart health due to high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in salmon, which may lower triglycerides and reduce inflammation.
• Promotes strong bones with its significant vitamin D content, aiding calcium absorption and bone development.
• Boosts energy and brain function with B vitamins (especially B12), which support healthy red blood cell formation and cognitive health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains fish, soy (if soy sauce is used), sesame (if included as a topping)

Suitable for: Pescatarian diets, gluten-free diets (if made with tamari instead of traditional soy sauce)

Not suitable for: Vegan diets, vegetarian diets

Selection and Storage

Store raw salmon in a refrigerator at 32°F–39°F (0°C–4°C) and consume within 1-2 days. Prepare temaki immediately before eating to maintain freshness and texture.

Can I eat temaki salmon on a keto diet?

What are the health benefits of eating temaki salmon?

Temaki salmon offers several health benefits due to its rich omega-3 fatty acid content, which promotes heart and brain health. Salmon is also a good source of vitamins D and B12, as well as selenium, which supports immune function. However, it's important to moderate intake if it contains added salty sauces or mayo.

What is the recommended portion size for temaki salmon?

A typical serving size for temaki salmon is one or two hand rolls, depending on your dietary needs. Each roll is usually around 150-200 calories depending on ingredients, so adjust portion sizes based on your caloric requirements and activity levels.

How does temaki salmon compare to nigiri or sashimi?

Compared to nigiri or sashimi, temaki salmon typically includes seaweed, salmon, and rice rolled into a cone. While sashimi is purely raw fish and lower in calories and carbs, temaki can be more filling due to the rice and additional ingredients. Nigiri contains a smaller portion of rice, making temaki slightly heavier in carbohydrates overall.
