Serving size, prep, and portion notes for 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
