Cooked salmon

Cooked salmon is a versatile and nutritious ingredient widely used in cooking for its mild flavor, juicy texture, and ease of preparation. Salmon is an oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality proteins, B vitamins, and essential minerals like selenium and potassium, which contribute to a balanced and healthy diet.

Originally, salmon comes from the cold, clean waters of the northern hemisphere, particularly from regions like the North Atlantic and North Pacific, where species such as Atlantic salmon and sockeye salmon are the most common. Today, salmon is farmed in aquaculture facilities in several countries, making it available year-round.

In gastronomy, cooked salmon is ideal for salads, pastas, savory pies, and main dishes. It can be baked, steamed, grilled, or boiled, preserving its natural flavor and providing a soft texture that pairs well with multiple ingredients.

In the Hispanic American context, cooked salmon may also be found under synonyms or related names such as steamed salmon, boiled salmon, or simply prepared salmon, although the term "cooked salmon" is the most common and understandable across all regions.
