Meat Experts Tip:
Salmon is high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D, making it a great healthy meat choice. Cooking salmon with the skin on helps the fish retain moisture, making it more tender. This also keeps the meat from flaking apart while cooking. Try pairing salmon with flavors like citrus, dill, or other spices.
Preferred Cooking Method:
Grill, Broil, Poach, Bake
Cooking Temps:
Needs to reach an internal temperature of 145°F, or until it separates easily with a fork.
