Salmon, red, canned in brine, drained

Red salmon is an oily fish. The form described here is canned in brine and drained, with large bones removed but skin and some smaller bones included. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 24g of protein and 7.3g of fat per 100g. It also provides 11µg of vitamin D and contains 1.1g of salt per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports bone and muscle function. The remaining bones contribute calcium. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, even though the brine has been drained. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
