Overview
Salmon is the third most commonly consumed fish. It is called an oily fish mainly because of its high amount of healthy saturated fats. It is a full-flavored fish with vivid flesh varying from orange to dark red and has a distinctive flavor profile.
With excellent nutritional value, salmon is a favorite among fish lovers and enjoyed even by those who are not always fond of fish. Salmon is an excellent source of selenium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. In addition, it is a good source of protein, niacin, phosphorus, vitamin B6, and omega-3 fatty acids. It is also a good source of biotin, potassium, choline, and pantothenic acid. Due to its many health benefits, salmon is the main ingredient in several seafood products. Unfortunately, many individuals with food allergies or hypersensitivity may experience an adverse reaction after consuming salmon.
An allergy to salmon triggers a reaction in an individual's immune system. The body views certain substances as toxic and produces IgE antibodies to these contaminants. These antibodies cause histamine to be released, which will cause the symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Specific IgE measures the concentration of circulating allergen specific IgE for food allergen salmon
This test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Detection of IgE antibodies indicates an increased likelihood of allergy to salmon that may be responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms. A negative result indicates that the symptoms are not due to salmon allergies and other differential diagnoses must be considered.
