Nutritional values

In addition to the valuable omega-3 fatty acids, this delicious sea fish also provides plenty of B vitamins. Just one portion of this fish meets the daily requirement of niacin as well as vitamins B6 and B12!

Thanks to the aluminium foil, the salmon fillet stays nice and juicy and can develop its full aroma. Packaged in this way, the fine fish can also be prepared on the grill without any problems.
