Researchers at the University of Toronto's Quality of Life Research Unit define quality of life as The degree to which a person enjoys the important possibilities of his or her life (UofT).
The shelf life of cold-smoked salmon is very short, one to two weeks in the refrigerator and about one month in the freezer. Storage time is another critical factor in the proliferation of Listeria bacteria since it can grow at low temperatures.
One serving of smoked salmon is about 3 to 3.5 ounces. Each serving contains about 100 to 140 calories, depending on the species. A significant chunk of its calories come from protein, and each serving of smoked salmon provides more than 20 percent of the daily recommended protein intake. Your body uses this protein as a source of amino acids -- chemicals it needs to maintain heathy muscles, as well as build new skin, bone and cartilage.
