How people cook with it
- Pan-seared for a crispy finish
- Baked for easy preparation
- Grilled for smoky notes
- Added to salads or grain bowls
To cook, simply remove the salmon from its packaging. You can pan-sear it in a hot skillet with a little oil for about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through and flaky. Alternatively, bake it in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Grilling is another excellent option, cooking over medium-high heat for a similar duration. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for safety and optimal texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain salmon, this version comes pre-seasoned, saving you the step of marinating. The sriracha lime combination offers a distinct spicy and tangy taste that differs from simpler preparations like lemon-dill or teriyaki.
Who it is for
