Cold-smoked salmon is salmon that has been cured with salt and then smoked at a low temperature. It mainly provides protein and fat, with little carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 23g of protein, 10g of fat, 3g of salt and 8.9µg of vitamin D.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports bones and muscles. The salt added during curing makes smoked salmon a food to consider when monitoring salt intake, as eating too much salt can contribute to raised blood pressure.
