About King chinook salmon

King salmon, also called Chinook salmon, is a Pacific salmon sold as whole fish, fillets, steaks or portions. It is cooked by methods such as baking, grilling, poaching or pan-frying, and is also sold smoked or cured. The exact product form and any processing should be specified rather than treating all salmon products as equivalent.

Its flesh ranges from pink to orange-red, with a moist, tender texture when properly cooked and a rich, characteristic salmon flavour. Colour and fatness vary among fish and products. Raw fillets, cooked fish and smoked or cured preparations have different textures and uses.
