Description
Salmon is fatty, rich, and has a silky texture at low core temperatures. The fat content provides natural juiciness and flavor. Farmed and wild salmon have different textures — wild salmon is firmer and requires more care.
Resting
Salmon doesn't need to rest like red meat, but 1–2 minutes gives heat time to distribute.
⚠️ Safety
Wild-caught salmon may contain Anisakis parasites. When cooking below 60°C, use farmed salmon or fish previously frozen at -20°C for 24 hours.
