What it is

Farmed Atlantic salmon is a type of fish raised in controlled environments, such as pens in coastal waters or land-based tanks. It is a popular source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. The farming process allows for consistent supply and quality control.

Why it's used

Farmed Atlantic salmon is sold fresh, frozen, or smoked for consumers to prepare at home. It is also used as an ingredient in prepared meals, seafood salads, and canned fish products. Its mild flavor and flaky texture make it versatile in many dishes.

Health notes

Farmed Atlantic salmon is a good source of protein, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. The FDA has not established specific upper intake levels for farmed salmon consumption. Concerns have been raised about potential contaminants like PCBs and dioxins, though studies show levels vary and are generally considered safe for most people by regulatory bodies like the FDA and EFSA. The nutritional profile and potential risks are subjects of ongoing research.
