Until a few years ago Salmon was considered a fish in the luxury price bracket. For most people the only salmon they had ever tasted came in tins and even then was considered a treat. However, with the growth of salmon farming around the world the price has fallen so that salmon is now inexpensive and freely available.
The salmon is closely related to the trout and the sea trout is often referred to as salmon trout. Salmon is an oily fish that is easily recognized by its pinkish flesh. When cooked or smoked it can be enjoyed as either a hot or cold dish.
Although fish farming has brought down the cost of salmon some experts believe it has also led to a fall in quality. Initially there was also another problem with farmed salmon being prone to disease due to too many too many fish being kept in a restricted area. This has now been overcome to some extent by improved knowledge and techniques within the fish farming industry. Even so there is little doubt that wild salmon is tastier than the farmed variety.
The wild Atlantic salmon is considered by many to be the very best of the salmon varieties but the Atlantic salmon is now in short supply and consequently quite expensive and difficult to get. The Pacific Salmon is popular and there are six different varieties which are the Sockeye, Chum, Chinook, Coho, Steelhead and Pink Salmon.Salmon are born in fresh water and migrate to the ocean later in life. Amazingly salmon return to the place of their birth to spawn and this has been confirmed by scientists using the latest tracking equipment. No one is absolutely certain how this homing instinct works.When it comes to cooking, the salmon is a very versatile fish and can be served as a starter, fish course or main meal. Possibly the best way to cook the fish is by poaching it in salted water. The fish can be poached whole or as stakes or fillets. Other options for cooking salmon include grilling or frying.
Whilst salmon can be eaten just as it comes out of the pan it does benefit from the addition of a sauce or dressing. Lemon is a good accompaniment and helps to counteract the rich flavor. A hollandaise sauce added to a warm dish or mayonnaise if the fish is being served cold can help to enhance the flavor. Baby new potatoes and a green salad are the ideal accompaniment to a salmon dish.
Smoked salmon is now much cheaper and more plentiful than it used to be and it can be used as a filling for sandwiches, served on its own, with lemon and brown bread as a starter or with scrambled eggs as a breakfast treat. Next time you are looking for something different to serve think of the salmon, versatile, simple to cook and very tasty.
