General Information:

Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar).  Weyand's carries only premium farm-raised Atlantic Salmon.  Atlantic Salmon is often called Norwegian salmon, Scottish salmon or Chilean salmon.  These names refer to the location of the salmon farms; the fish are all basically the same Atlantic Salmon.

Recipes:

SALMON FILLETS

Use approximately 8 to 10 oz. per person.  A 2 to 2.5 pound salmon fillets should service 4 to 5 people.
Salmon may be served with the skin on or off.  To remove the skin, start at the tail and carefully run a knife between the skin and flesh, or better yet, ask Weyand's to skin it for you at the store.  Put the fillet, flesh side up, on a sheet of aluminum foil and place under the broiler or on the grill.  Cooking time depends on temperature and the thickness of the fillets.  With the heat on high, cook until the meat is a consistent color all the way through;  approximately 8 minutes for a fillet under 1 inch thick, 10 minutes if over 1 inch thick.  Do not turn the fish over while cooking; it will just break apart.

 

SALMON STEAKS

Use approximately 8 to 10 oz. per person. 
Cook in the same manner you would a beef steak of a similar thickness.  Place under the broiler or on the grill on medium high heat.   Cooking time depends and the thickness of the fillets.   Cook until the meat is a consistent color all the way through;  approximately 6 minutes for a fillet under 1 inch thick, 8 minutes if over 1 inch thick.  Turn the steak over about half way through the cooking time.
