About Sockeye salmon
Sockeye salmon is a Pacific salmon commonly sold fresh, frozen, canned or smoked. Its flesh is usually deep red to orange-red and, when cooked, has a firm, relatively lean texture with a pronounced savoury flavour. The colour and texture can vary with the fish's condition, handling and preparation.
It is used as a fillet, steak or portion, and is also sold as canned or smoked fish. Fresh or frozen sockeye is commonly cooked by baking, grilling, pan-cooking or poaching. The name identifies a salmon type rather than a specific cut or processing style, so products with different preparations should not be treated as interchangeable.
