Critical
-
Of course there is also criticism about whether or not the salmon are healthy. Since the salmon swims around in the polluted seas, the salmon would ingest unhealthy substances and if we then eat that fish, we also ingest those substances. However, little has been shown of this and so far it does not outweigh the benefits of eating the salmon.
Wild salmon versus (organically) farmed salmon
-
It goes without saying that wild salmon is better for your health. This fish has, as said, a wider "range" of food. In contrast, the farmed salmon has a lean supply of fish, which results in less nutrients in the salmon. To absorb the slightly paler color, they sometimes put dyes in the salmon. In addition, they receive antibiotics and growth hormones, among other things. Although in small quantities, you do get this while consuming. Incidentally, there are also organically farmed salmon and they do not receive antibiotics and growth hormones. So if you eat farmed salmon, eating organic salmon makes a lot more sense.
How do you eat salmon?
-
The salmon is a versatile fish. You can present the salmon on toast or a piece of French bread, but as a slice with some fresh vegetables and potatoes or pasta, it is also fine. But salmon can also be used with a spicy wok dish and of course delicious on a sandwich in nice thin slices. Combine it with some arugula lettuce and a yogurt-based dressing and you're done in style.
