What Nidam al-Tayyibat says
The salmon sold in France and Morocco is almost always farmed, and therefore forbidden by the system's rule on farmed fish. Wild salmon is not itemized and falls under the sea fish heading.
Sources differ: Déduit de la règle générale sur l'élevage ; le saumon n'est pas nommé dans les sources égyptiennes.
What conventional nutrition says
Salmon is an oily fish rich in omega-3 and vitamin D; farmed and wild salmon have different fat profiles.
