Sushi, salmon nigiri

Salmon nigiri is a type of sushi made with shaped, cooked rice topped with salmon, usually served raw. The figures here describe the rice and salmon together. It mainly provides carbohydrate from the rice and protein from the fish, with some fat. Per 100g, it contains 25g of carbohydrate, 8.7g of protein, 2.5g of fat and 0.9g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Salmon nigiri also contains vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium and maintain bones and muscles. Its salt content is worth noting for people watching their salt intake, particularly if soy sauce is added. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
