About Fish, Salmon, pink, canned, drained solids, without skin and bones

Pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), also called humpback or humpy salmon, is the smallest and most abundant of the Pacific salmon, returning in huge numbers to the cold waters and rivers of the North Pacific. Its delicate flesh is pale rose-pink with a soft texture and a mild, light flavor that is the gentlest of the salmon family. As an oily fish, pink salmon is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium, all at an affordable price.

Much of the catch is canned, where it is a budget-friendly pantry staple for salmon patties, cakes, salads, and sandwiches, and the fresh fish is also baked, grilled, broiled, or poached. Because it is lean and tender, it cooks quickly and is best not overdone. Choose fillets with a fresh, clean sea smell and firm flesh, or keep canned pink salmon on hand, and store fresh fish well chilled, using it within a day or two.
