About Atlantic salmon

Atlantic salmon is a large salmonid fish with firm flesh that ranges from pale pink to deeper pink or orange. Its flavour is rich and savoury, and its cooked flesh separates into moist flakes. It is sold whole, as fillets, steaks and portions; skin-on and skinless cuts are both common.

Atlantic salmon is prepared by baking, grilling, pan-cooking, poaching or smoking. Farmed and wild fish, as well as fresh, frozen and smoked forms, can differ in colour, fat distribution and flavour. These are relevant distinctions, and the broad fish name should not be taken to specify a particular source, cut or processing method.
