Smoked salmon is relatively low in calories while boasting high quality protein, essential fats, and several vitamins and minerals. What’s more, smoked salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are considered essential because your body cannot make them, so you must obtain them from your diet. They are important for brain function, heart health, and healthy aging. Yet, smoke salmon is much higher in sodium than fresh salmon.
