About Chinook salmon

Chinook salmon is a salmon species found in the North Pacific and also known as king salmon. Its flesh is typically pink to reddish, with a rich flavour and a tender, relatively oily texture. Fresh fish is sold as whole fish, fillets or steaks, and the flesh is also smoked, canned or frozen.

It is used in a range of cooked preparations, with cooking time and cut affecting texture. This entry refers to Chinook salmon flesh, not roe or a mixed salmon product. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish raw from cooked fish and fresh from smoked or canned forms, which can differ in moisture and added ingredients.
