What it is
Salmon is a rich, oily fish with a deep pink flesh. We cut Scottish salmon to order at the counter, farmed and wild in season, as fillets, sides, steaks and pieces fine to eat raw. Priced by weight, filleted and pin-boned by hand at no charge.
Why choose it
Salmon is forgiving to cook and works from a midweek fillet to a whole side for a table. It takes the grill, the oven, the pan and the air fryer, and it carries strong flavours as happily as a squeeze of lemon.
How it tastes
Rich and buttery, with a firm flake. Wild salmon is leaner and deeper in flavour, farmed is fattier and milder. The fat is what keeps it moist and what carries omega 3.
How to cook it
Roast a fillet skin-side down at 180C, pan-fry skin-side first for a crisp skin, grill or barbecue a side over medium heat, or air fry a fillet at 180C. Cook to just opaque and it stays moist.
What goes with it
Lemon, dill, capers and creme fraiche. New potatoes, asparagus, green beans and peas. Soy, ginger and sesame for a sashimi or teriyaki direction.
How long it takes
A fillet roasts in 12 to 15 minutes, pan-fries in 4 to 5 minutes a side, air fries in 8 to 10 minutes, and a whole side bakes in 20 to 25 minutes. Times vary with thickness.
Nutrition
Salmon is high in protein and one of the strongest sources of omega 3. A typical fillet carries around 20 to 25 grams of protein.
Sustainability
Ask at the counter for the day's sourcing. We can advise on farmed versus wild and on responsibly sourced options, and suggest an alternative if you want one.
Where to buy it
