Health info about the ingredients in this dish
Salmon
Salmon is healthy … You just need to buy the right kind of salmon.
As I understand it, then you should stay away from Norwegian salon:
it is bred & the salmon is stuffed with antibiotics, colourants etc. (Then it’s not that healthy to eat salmon anyway, hah?)
It is so disgusting, to think about, that it is legal for companies & breeders to fill you with all of that sh*t! 🙁
As I understand it, you should try to buy wild salmon, Faraoe salon (That is bred to, but they have much stricter rules about, what to give the fish) or Greenlandic salmon.
« With smoked salmon there is only one solution, if you want to be one that is not bad for your body.
I have searched in my supermarkets, and the one to get is ‘Sockeye wild salmon from Alaska’. »
