Salmon is an important source of Omega-3 which the main essential fatty acid (EFA). Salmon has small amount of bio active peptides (protein molecules) that may help joint cartilages, insulin effectiveness and inflammation in the digestive tract. Mercury and pesticide contamination has become widespread in salmon habitats. Today, most of the salmon that comes to the market are farmed. It is possible to control the contamination in farms. One should check the source of salmon before buying to ensure that it is with the least contaminants. Wild salmon caught in the Alaskan region is still considered to have least contaminants.
Omega-3 fatty acid is easily destroyed by heat. So when cooking we have to ensure that the fish is not subjected to heat for a long time. We also should try to preserve as much fat as possible in the fish. When subjected to heat the fat will melt and run out of the fish. We normally fry salmon with pepper and salt. Here I have introduced some spices to make a difference.
