Description

Fresh salmon is a cold-water fish known for its pink flesh and delicate flavor, ideal for a wide variety of recipes, from ceviches and tartares to baked or grilled dishes. Primarily sourced from the North Atlantic and North Pacific regions, salmon is valued both for its juicy texture and its high nutritional content.

This food is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality proteins, B vitamins, and minerals such as selenium, making it a healthy choice for those looking to improve cardiovascular health and strengthen the immune system. Its versatility in the kitchen makes it perfect for raw, smoked, marinated, or cooked preparations.

In different Latin American countries, fresh salmon is also known as "pink salmon" or simply "salmon". Although in some places a distinction is made between salmon and trout, in the culinary context many recipes use both terms to refer to fish with similar flesh.
