Smoked salmon is prepared from fish fillets that are cured and then either cold- or hot-smoked. Known for its high nutritional value, it is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, copper, phosphorus, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin B6, which collectively support overall health. Popular product types include wild sockeye salmon, Atlantic salmon, and smoked trout. Although smoking has been used for centuries as a preservation method, the popularity of smoked salmon has grown significantly in recent years, especially among health-conscious consumers. Its consumption is associated with various benefits, including cardiovascular health support and reduced risk of certain diseases. The growing demand for animal-based protein and the entry of new players are key drivers fueling industry expansion.
