What to know about salmon
Fresh salmon is remarkably clean on food chemicals: graded safe on histamine, salicylates, oxalates, FODMAPs, gluten and nickel, and rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3s. The two real caveats are not about fresh fish chemistry. Salmon is a top-six food for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and like all fish it becomes a histamine and scombroid risk when it is not kept cold, so freshness and storage matter more than the fish itself.
Watch for
- Fish is one of the top EoE trigger foods, so salmon does not fit an EoE elimination diet
- Poorly stored or aging fish forms histamine (scombroid risk): buy fresh, keep it cold, and eat it promptly if you are histamine sensitive
- Smoked and canned salmon sit higher on histamine than fresh fillet because of the processing and storage time
