Salmon is a fish with caloric meats, its taste is delicate but well recognizable, it lends itself to many preparations and we find it on the market fresh or smoked.
In this recipe I will use it fresh in fillets.
Features:
From the nutritional point of view it has a high calorie intake, rich in proteins and unsaturated fats, an important intake of omega-3, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid.
It has a fair concentration of cholesterol, but is free of fiber. Good concentrations of phosphorus and selenium.
Historical background:
Salmon is the common name used to indicate various genera and species belonging to the Salmonidae family - the same as trout, char, grayling, whitefish etc.
All descendants of a single species that 40 million years ago colonized a vast area of the northern hemisphere, these fishes have differentiated into Genera and Species "only" 10-20 million years ago
Notes:
An adult salmon lives about ten years, during which it reaches the maximum length of one and a half metres and can weigh even 20 kg.
