Dining Out


Salmon is a favorite dish at many restaurants. Regardless of whether it's prepared in a simple or elaborate manner, ocean-farmed salmon forms the basis for a great dining experience and a healthy meal.


Common Salmon Dishes:


Grilled Salmon


This dish is the most common salmon dish found in restaurants. One of the healthiest choices for health-conscious diners, grilled salmon doesn't relinquish taste for low-fat.


Salmon Salads


Salmon salads are most often grilled salmon fillets over romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce or mixed greens and are usually served with balsamic vinaigrette or a simple Caesar dressing.


Stuffed Whole Salmon


Stuffed whole salmon is an impressive dish that serves several people. Be prepared to receive the whole fish, head and all. Stuffed whole salmon provides all the choicest cuts of the fish.


Poached Salmon


Poached salmon requires boiling the salmon in a pot filled with broth or water. The broth adds flavor without masking the delicate taste of the salmon.


Salmon Croquettes or Truffles


Salmon croquettes are small patties of salmon meat, breadcrumbs and herbs fried in oil or fat. They're a delicious treat for those looking to fall off their diet for a night!


TIP: Ordering Salmon


Salmon is most often served completely cooked unless it's salmon sushi or lox. When dining out, a server will not ask you to specify how you'd like your salmon cooked (well, medium, rare.) Salmon will always be served well-done.
