What it is
This is a savory snack made from thinly sliced salmon that has been cured and dried. The process removes moisture, concentrating the natural flavors of the fish. It offers a chewy texture and a distinct, oceanic taste. The salmon is typically seasoned before drying, which can include a variety of spices and marinades to enhance its appeal. It is a shelf-stable product, making it convenient for on-the-go consumption.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike beef jerky, salmon jerky has a distinct fish flavor and a slightly different texture. The curing process for fish can also vary, sometimes resulting in a more delicate chew or a different flavor profile compared to traditional meat jerky. The natural oils in salmon contribute to its unique mouthfeel.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining salmon jerky in an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps maintain its texture and prevents it from drying out further or becoming stale.
