Nutritional Profiles of Some Healthy Fishes
01 Salmon/Sake(in Japanese):Protein,V.A,VD,EPA&DHA
This
fish is very popular and readily available everywhere of the
world..
Although there are many cooking ways of salmon such as grilled,
smoked, steamed and deep fried etc,Japanese people are found of
grilled salmon generally.Grilled salmon is very simple cooking
way becausee salmon is only sligtly salted and grilled.It is
aromatic and tasty.
Salmon is a good supplyer of protein,VitaminA and D and also
containes rich amount of omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA..
I think that making soup and deep frying with bread crumbs is the
best way of cooking salmon to take omega-3oiles .It is possible
to take omega-3 oiles completely if it is taken as soup because
these oils are dissolved easily. Deep frying is the way to
protect outflow of omega-3oiles because the protein of egg and
flour can become barriers to prevent outflow of these oiles..
