Salmon, red, canned in brine, skinless and boneless, drained

Red salmon is a fish; the form described here is canned in brine, with the skin and bones removed, and drained. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 23g of protein and 6.7g of fat per 100g. It also contains 12µg of vitamin D and 0.95g of salt per 100g.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports bone and muscle health. Although the brine has been drained away, the salmon still contains salt, which is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
