How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh salmon, smoked salmon has undergone a preservation process that alters its texture and flavor profile. The smoking imparts a savory, sometimes slightly sweet, taste that is not present in raw or cooked fresh salmon. It also has a firmer, more yielding texture compared to the flakiness of cooked fresh salmon.
