How much protein and calories does salmon contain?
If you want to eat a balanced diet, salmon is a must. Fish scores highly both for its versatility in the kitchen and for its valuable nutrients, which make it a real powerhouse on your plate.
Salmon contains an average of 200 calories per 100 g – most of which comes from healthy unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, which support the heart, brain and joints. It also contains around 20 g of high-quality protein, which is easy to digest and provides the body with essential amino acids. Salmon is also a good source of valuable vitamins such as B6, B12 and D as well as minerals such as potassium, selenium and phosphorus. This combination makes it the ideal choice for anyone who values a nutritious meal – whether as part of their everyday diet or as part of a conscious lifestyle.
How healthy is salmon?
From a health perspective, salmon is a real all-rounder. Thanks to its fatty acid structure, it can support normal heart and circulatory function, have a positive effect on cholesterol levels and promote anti-inflammatory processes in the body. People with increased nutritional requirements – for example, during stressful periods of life, during growth or in old age – benefit particularly from regular consumption of salmon with its nutritional values. Salmon can also promote mental performance. At the same time, it is easily digestible and suitable for sensitive digestive systems. So if you want to enjoy healthy food, salmon represents a key part of a long-term balanced diet.
The most important thing when consuming all types of seafood, including salmon, is proper storage, as fish is very sensitive to temperature. Therefore, you should place salmon in the fridge as soon as possible after purchase. This way, you can safely store the salmon for one day. In your Liebherr appliance with the BioFresh Fish & Seafood safe, salmon can stay fresh for up to four days at -2 °C. If you want to enjoy salmon and its nutritional benefits for longer, you can freeze it for up to six months.
*All specifications given are to be considered as guideline values, and depend in each case on the type of food and on the proper storage without interruption of the cold chain from harvest/production through to the Liebherr appliance. Should food products have information about minimum shelf life, the date on the packaging always applies.
