Tips for Eating Salmon

Salmon is a great source of protein, vitamin A, and omega fatty acids, which are essential to the proper functioning of the heart and brain.

There is some concern over the mercury content in seafood, particularly if you’re pregnant. Fortunately, salmon is very low in mercury and is safe to eat, as long as you remember the following:

• Never buy farm-raised salmon: Farm-raised or Atlantic salmon (almost all Atlantic salmon is now farmed rather than wild-caught) generally has higher levels of mercury than wild Pacific salmon. In addition, farm-raised salmon may contain toxic chemicals, like PCBs.
• Purchase sustainably-caught salmon: Overfishing is a major concern for all seafood, including salmon. For that reason, it’s important to ensure you’re using a sustainable source/brand that will not endanger the population.
• Use frozen salmon: Frozen salmon is flash-frozen at the peak of freshness. Freezing salmon also better controls the spread of bacteria and parasites and results in a less “fishy” taste. In addition, more often than not, the “fresh” salmon you find at the store has been previously frozen.

Where to Get the Best Salmon

I highly recommend buying your salmon from Wild Alaskan Company – a popular monthly subscription service that delivers wild-caught, sustainably-sourced seafood to your doorstep. Personally, I prefer to consume wild-caught seafood, because it is much healthier, tastes better, and is more sustainable than farmed fish.

All of the Wild Alaskan Company’s fish is caught either in Alaska or the Pacific Northwest, and is frozen shortly after it’s brought to shore. Their seafood gets delivered right to your door in an eco-friendly, insulated cooler with dry ice. You can choose from salmon-only boxes, whitefish (such as halibut and cod) boxes, or combo boxes.

You can skip months, change your delivery date, or pause your membership anytime, for no extra charge. They also offer a 100% money-back guarantee, so if you’re not totally satisfied with their seafood, they will refund or replace the total purchase price.

Alright now let’s get back to what you came here for: My Honey Sriracha Salmon recipe! For a satisfying lunch or dinner, serve the salmon over a bed of hot cooked rice and/or with steamed vegetables.

Important: Don’t overcook the salmon! When the fish looks opaque and the flesh starts to flake easily with a fork, it is done. Resist the urge to cook it for any longer than that.
