Benefits of Baked Salmon

  • Salmon is a great source of high quality animal protein. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that has anti-inflammatory properties. It is also packed with vitamin B12, D, selenium, iodine, and antioxidants.
  • It is relatively low in saturated fat and calories, making it an ideal option for individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery.
  • Regular consumption of salmon can balance good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol in the blood, reducing the risk of heart disease.
  • The omega-3 fatty acids in salmon also contribute to brain health. They support the cognitive function and can reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s. 

However, it is important to note that, the method of preparation plays a major role in preserving the nutritional value of the dish. Baking salmon is a healthier cooking method that doesn’t require adding extra fats or oils. It is also important to avoid high-sugar or high-calorie toppings or sauces that can adversely affect the health.
