Award Winning Fresh Salmon Fillets from MOWI

The Nutritional Power of Mowi Scottish Salmon

Scottish salmon has long been celebrated as one of the most nutritious foods available, and Mowi is one of the world’s leading producers of responsibly farm raised Atlantic salmon. Combining consistent quality with an impressive nutritional profile, Mowi salmon is widely regarded as a healthy, versatile choice for modern diets.

A Protein-Rich, Nutrient-Dense Food

Fresh Mowi Scottish salmon is naturally high in complete protein, providing around 23–25 grams per 100g. This high-quality protein contains all essential amino acids, making salmon particularly valuable for muscle maintenance, recovery, and overall body function. Compared with many red meats, salmon delivers more protein per calorie while also providing beneficial fats rather than excessive saturated fat.

In calorie terms, fresh Mowi salmon typically contains around 230–240 kcal per 100g, making it energy-dense but highly nutritious. Carbohydrates are virtually non-existent (less than 1g per 100g), which makes salmon suitable for low-carb, high-protein, and balanced eating plans alike.

Healthy Fats and Omega-3 Benefits

One of salmon’s greatest nutritional strengths is its fat composition. Mowi salmon contains roughly 14–15g of fat per 100g, the majority of which is unsaturated fat. Crucially, it is exceptionally rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), providing approximately 2,000–2,300mg per 100g.

One major benefit of MOWI salmon is that one fillet provides you with enough Omega 3 for 5 days.

These omega-3s are strongly linked to heart health, helping to support healthy cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and maintain normal blood pressure. They also play a vital role in brain health, supporting cognitive function, mood, and nervous system health - benefits that extend well beyond the dinner plate.

Ideal for a “New Year, New Healthy Outlook”

As many people embrace a new year, new healthy outlook, Mowi salmon is an ideal food to support common resolutions such as eating better, improving energy levels, and prioritising long-term wellbeing. Its high protein content helps keep you fuller for longer, which can support weight management goals, while its healthy fats provide sustained energy rather than quick spikes and crashes. With minimal preparation required and endless recipe options, salmon makes healthy eating feel achievable rather than restrictive - an important factor in sticking to positive habits beyond January.

Vitamins and Minerals That Matter

Beyond protein and healthy fats, Mowi salmon delivers a wide range of essential micronutrients. It is an excellent source of vitamin B12, supporting nerve function, red blood cell production, and energy metabolism. Salmon is also one of the few natural food sources of vitamin D, contributing to bone health, immune strength, and muscle function, particularly important during the darker winter months.

Additional nutrients include selenium, a powerful antioxidant mineral, along with vitamin E, potassium, and iodine, all of which support normal metabolic and immune processes.

Smoked Salmon: Nutritional Notes

Mowi’s smoked salmon products retain much of the protein and omega-3 content of fresh salmon, typically delivering around 24g of protein per 100g. However, smoked salmon is naturally higher in salt due to the curing process, so it is best enjoyed in moderation, especially for those monitoring sodium intake.

A Smart Choice for Everyday Health

Nutrition guidance commonly recommends eating fatty fish like salmon two to three times per week, and Mowi Scottish salmon fits perfectly within this advice. Whether grilled, baked, steamed, or lightly pan-fried, gentle cooking methods help preserve its delicate omega-3 fats and vitamin content.

In summary, Mowi Scottish salmon stands out as a nutrientdense, protein-rich food that supports heart, brain, muscle, and immune health - making it a smart, sustainable choice for anyone starting the year with healthier intentions and looking to maintain them all year round.
