Nutritional Benefits

High-Quality Protein: Atlantic salmon is a rich source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall bodily functions. A 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving typically provides around 20-22 grams of protein. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Like coho salmon, Atlantic salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). These healthy fats support cardiovascular health by reducing inflammation, lowering triglycerides, and improving cholesterol levels. They also contribute to brain health and eye health. Vitamins: Vitamin D: Important for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. Atlantic salmon is an excellent source of vitamin D. Vitamin B12: Crucial for nerve function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis. Minerals: Selenium: Acts as an antioxidant and supports thyroid health. Phosphorus: Important for maintaining strong bones and teeth and energy metabolism. Potassium: Helps regulate blood pressure, fluid balance, and muscle and nerve functions. Low in Saturated Fat: Atlantic salmon has a favorable fat profile, being low in saturated fat and high in healthy unsaturated fats, which contributes to heart health. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants in Atlantic salmon help reduce inflammation in the body, which can benefit overall health and potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Additional Considerations regarding our Salmon

We supply both wild and farm Atlantic Salmon depending our our client’s requirements with wild Atlantic Salmon fish slightly expensive than farm Atlantic salmon.

• Farmed vs. Wild: Most Atlantic salmon available in markets are farmed, as wild populations are limited and less common. Farmed salmon can have different nutritional profiles, particularly in terms of fat content and potential contaminants. Farmed salmon often has higher fat content, which can include omega-3s but may also include other fats.
• Sustainability: Sustainability varies between farmed and wild-caught Atlantic salmon. Choosing sustainably farmed or responsibly sourced salmon can help minimize environmental impact and support healthier ecosystems.

Incorporating Atlantic salmon into your diet can provide numerous health benefits, including supporting heart and brain health, providing essential nutrients, and offering a versatile and delicious food option.
