Salmon

Buying
Available whole, fillet or cutlet form. Look for lustrous, bright skin; bulging eyes; firm flesh and a pleasant fresh smell. Fillets and cutlets should be lustrous with no brown markings and not oozing water. Smoked Atlantic salmon can be purchased sliced and is vacuum-packed.

Storing
Wrap whole fish, fillets or cutlets in plastic wrap or put in an airtight container. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or freeze up to 6 months.

Preparing
Clean and gutter; quickly rinse under cold running water and score at the thickest part of the flesh to allow even heat penetration.

Cooking
Atlantic salmon is a very versatile fish. Its delicate flavour and moist texture suits any style of cooking. Excellent pan-fried, char-grilled, barbecued, baked or poached, and served rare - Sashimi style.

Best prepared with lemon, onion, dill, capers, white wine and served with char-grilled vegetables, Camembert cheese and green salads.
