Silver salmon, or Coho salmon, is one of the tastiest members of the salmon family. It’s packed with omega-3 fatty acids, making it not only a healthy choice but also a sustainable option if sourced from responsible fisheries. Coho salmon has a slightly milder flavor compared to king salmon, which makes it perfect for a wide range of dishes—from grilled fillets to smoked spreads.
When purchasing silver salmon, freshness is key. Look for salmon with firm, translucent flesh and a pleasant, sea-like aroma. Fresh, wild-caught Coho salmon offers the best flavor and texture, but high-quality frozen salmon can also be an excellent option, especially when sourced from reputable suppliers.
Tip: Look for sustainably sourced silver salmon to ensure the highest quality while supporting conservation efforts.

Before you cook your silver salmon, proper cleaning is essential to remove any unwanted scales, bones, or skin. Here’s a quick guide:
Some recipes call for skinless fillets. To remove the skin, place the fillet skin-side down, make a small incision near the tail, and gently slide the knife between the flesh and skin while holding the skin taut.
Grilling is one of the most popular methods for cooking silver salmon, especially during summer.
Pan-searing creates a deliciously crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and moist.
Baking is ideal for cooking silver salmon evenly, preserving its moisture and delicate texture.
Broiling salmon gives it a delightful charred exterior while keeping the inside tender.
