Description

Canned red salmon is a type of preserved fish characterized by its intense pink to reddish flesh, which comes from the sockeye salmon, a species native to the North Pacific, primarily in areas of Alaska, Canada, and Russia. This salmon is especially valued for its firm flavor and juicy texture, making it ideal for various culinary preparations.

The canning process preserves all the nutritional properties of the salmon, maintaining its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for cardiovascular health and cognitive development. Furthermore, it is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamin D, and minerals such as selenium and calcium.

In the Hispanic world, canned red salmon can also be found under the names "canned sockeye salmon" or simply "red canned salmon". It is a versatile ingredient for recipes like salads, pastas, canapés, or even as a complement in stews and fillings.
