Ikura, or salmon roe, is a delicacy that has captured the hearts of seafood lovers worldwide. Its vibrant color, bursting texture, and briny taste make it a standout ingredient in both traditional and modern cuisines. Whether you’re a seasoned seafood enthusiast or just starting to explore the world of caviar, this guide will provide everything you need to know about Ikura and Russian caviar.
Ikura refers to the bright orange, pearly eggs harvested from salmon. In Japan, it is often served on sushi or over rice, but the love for salmon roe extends far beyond the sushi bar. In Russia, it’s known as red caviar and is often enjoyed on buttered bread or paired with blini (pancakes).
The delicate pop of Ikura in your mouth makes it a unique dining experience, and its fresh, briny taste pairs beautifully with a variety of foods.
Salmon roe is not only a treat for your taste buds but also packed with nutrition. It’s rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart and brain health. Ikura is also loaded with vitamin D, B12, and high-quality protein. According to Harvard Health, Omega-3s can help lower inflammation and reduce the risk of heart disease, making Ikura both a luxurious and healthy choice.
