What it is

How people cook with it
Salmon is a versatile fish that can be cooked using many different methods. It pairs well with a variety of seasonings and flavors.
- Pan-seared for a crispy skin
- Baked with herbs and lemon
- Grilled for a smoky flavor
- Poached in broth or wine
To prepare this salmon, you can start by patting the fillets dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a better sear. Season them with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices. For pan-searing, heat some oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook for a few minutes per side until opaque and flaky. Baking involves placing the seasoned fillets on a baking sheet and cooking in a preheated oven until done. Grilling requires a lightly oiled grill and cooking over direct heat.
How it differs from similar foods
Atlantic salmon is known for its rich flavor and higher fat content compared to some other salmon varieties. This can result in a moister and more tender cooked fish. The farm-raised aspect ensures a consistent supply and quality.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused salmon in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Keep it refrigerated and use it within one to two days for optimal freshness. Proper storage helps maintain the quality and prevents spoilage.
