Kroger Atlantic Salmon Fillets
What it is
These are fresh, raw salmon fillets sourced from the Atlantic Ocean. Salmon is a popular fish known for its rich flavor and flaky texture. These fillets are typically skin-on, which can help them retain moisture and add a pleasant crispness when cooked properly.
How people cook with it
Salmon is a favorite for quick weeknight meals and more elaborate dinner parties alike.
- Pan-seared for a crispy skin
- Baked with herbs and lemon
- Grilled for a smoky flavor
- Poached gently in broth
To prepare, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. For pan-searing, heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes, depending on thickness, until cooked through. For baking, place fillets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.
