About Fish, salmon, chinook, cooked, dry heat
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), commonly called king salmon, is the largest of the Pacific salmon and widely considered the finest. Its flesh ranges from deep red-orange to a rare ivory-white and is exceptionally rich, buttery, and high in fat, which gives it a luxurious, melt-in-the-mouth texture. That high fat content makes king salmon one of the best sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, along with high-quality protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium.
Its richness shines when simply grilled, broiled, roasted, pan-seared, or cold-smoked into lox, and the generous fat keeps it moist and forgiving on the heat. Prized by chefs, wild Chinook from Alaska and the Pacific Northwest is a seasonal treat. Choose fillets with firm, moist, brightly colored flesh and a clean smell, and keep salmon well chilled, using it quickly or freezing it.
