About Fish, salmon, Atlantic, wild, cooked, dry heat

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is one of the most popular and widely eaten fish in the world, prized for its rich, buttery flavor and tender, flaky orange-pink flesh. Most Atlantic salmon sold today is responsibly farmed, making it affordable and available year-round. As an oily fish, salmon is one of the best sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and it also delivers high-quality protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium.

Its rich flavor and forgiving texture make it wonderfully easy to cook: baked, roasted, grilled, pan-seared with crisp skin, poached, or cured into lox and smoked salmon. It pairs naturally with lemon, dill, and butter, and shines in everything from salads to sushi. Choose salmon with bright, moist flesh and a clean sea smell, and store it well chilled in the refrigerator, using fresh fillets within a day or two or freezing them.
