Look past the tin can. Rich in nutrients and packed with protein, canned salmon is incredibly healthy
Packed with nutrition, just 1/4 of a tin of salmon contains 11 g of protein and 5 g of quality fats, as well as 10% the daily requirement for calcium and 4% of iron
Although salmon is more commonly eaten fresh, canned sustainable salmon is a nutritional powerhouse and an incredibly versatile source of high-quality protein.
Just one-quarter of a 7.5-ounce (213-gram) tin of salmon contains 11 g of protein and 5 g of quality fats, including 1.5 g of omega-3 fatty acids. This same portion also supplies 10% of the daily requirement for calcium and 4% of iron as well as 240 mg of sodium.
Tip: To reduce the sodium content, choose sodium-reduced canned salmon, or rinse and drain regular canned salmon before using it.
