Tip from Simone
Always choose high-quality salmon, especially for recipes where the fish is served raw or lightly cured (like gravlax, tartare, or mousse). Look for fresh, sushi-grade salmon from a trusted fishmonger and keep it well chilled until you’re ready to use it. Bonus tip: buy a whole side of salmon and use it across different recipes. It’s often more budget-friendly, and leftovers are perfect for wraps, salads, or an easy next-day lunch.

FAQ Salmon Recipes
Fresh salmon should have a mild, clean smell (not overly “fishy”), firm flesh, and a vibrant color. If it looks dull or smells strong, it’s best not to use it.
It depends on the recipe.
- Wild salmon (like sockeye or coho) has a firmer texture and deeper flavor, perfect for grilling or salads.
For raw dishes, always choose sushi-grade salmon. - Atlantic salmon is rich and buttery, great for roasting or baking.
Yes! Frozen salmon is a great option and often very fresh since it’s frozen right after being caught. Just make sure to thaw it slowly in the fridge overnight for the best texture. Also, not all recipes might be equally suited for frozen salmon.
Not necessarily, but largely depending on the recipe. The skin helps keep the salmon moist during cooking and can get deliciously crispy when pan-seared. You can always remove it after cooking if you prefer.
Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is still slightly translucent in the center. Overcooking can make it dry, so keep an eye on it.
Leftover salmon is incredibly versatile! Use it in salads, pasta, sandwiches, wraps, scrambled eggs, or fish cakes for an easy next meal.
