Salmon is deservedly referred to as gourmet products, which means salmon dishes also have excellent flavoring properties.
To cook them, as a rule, it does not take too much time, and the taste is simply excellent. Salmon family fish is ideally combined with many side dishes and vegetables. You can also add sauce to it, which will give salmon an even more intense taste.
This fish is literally filled with vitamins, healthy fats, high-quality proteins, trace elements and other healthy compounds. The salmon fillet included in the diet gradually reduces blood cholesterol, strengthens the cardiovascular system, prevents blood clots and vascular catastrophes, and improves blood circulation, including cerebral circulation.
In addition, the thyroid gland, due to its high iodine content, and the nervous system, and general metabolism, also fall under its beneficial influence. And selenium contained in salmon, being a powerful antioxidant, slows the aging of the body and protects it from the negative effects of free radicals.
The fish enters the distribution network in fresh, frozen, divided into fillets, smoked and slightly salted form. Fresh fillet should not have a pronounced fishy smell and should have a flexible, elastic structure - this should be considered when buying salmon. Fish meat is recommended to be grilled or baked in foil, but in no case should not be fried, as during frying, salmon loses most of its useful components.
Smoked or slightly salted fish does not require heat treatment, as it is already ready for use. It is great for preparing a variety of salads, omelettes, canapes, and is simply an excellent snack. The shelf life of such salmon in vacuum packaging is two months. Opened packaging shortens the "life" of the delicacy in just 24-36 hours.
Include tender pink fillet in your diet, and you will certainly feel a surge of energy, strength and health! And we will talk about how to diversify salmon dishes.
