Salmon is one of the most nutritious oily fish and is a great source of protein and omega 3. Plus, it can be cooked in so many ways, bake, grill, broil…the possibilities are endless! The secret to success in every recipe is, in addition to choosing a good quality salmon, to choose the cut and presentation that best suits each cooking type.
Since 1964 Mowi have been specialists in raising quality salmon. Their upbringing has allowed them to learn in detail how to cook and prepare salmon to make the most of this delicacy and, most importantly, to enjoy its delicate flavor and texture. When cooking, the type of cut makes a difference, so MOWI salmon comes in different looks and cuts to suit every recipe and the results are always successful. With these tips, you’ll have no excuses to unleash your creativity in the kitchen:
1. Grilled salmon: classic, but also creative
The oven is one of the most common techniques used when cooking salmon and, without a doubt, the easiest technique, as it requires no supervision. Simply place the salmon fillet in a baking dish, coat with a little oil, salt and pepper, and place it in the oven at 160-180° for 10-15 minutes.
For this cooking technique, we recommend using already skinned and deboned salmon pieces, such as MOWI Salmon Master Cut x2 of Norwegian origin, which guarantees all its nutritional properties and characteristic flavour.
2. Steamed salmon: healthy and full of flavor
One of the healthiest techniques for cooking salmon is steaming, a cooking method that allows you to preserve all the characteristics of the fish. To do this, you have to put the salmon fillets in a steamer and cook for 10 minutes. Also, for a more delicious taste, you can substitute vegetable or fish stock for the cooking water.
3. Grilled Salmon: A Simple yet Delicate Treat
If you opt for the more traditional technique, roasting, there are two cooking methods. For the quickest option, we have to heat the pan over high heat and drizzle with oil, and seal the salmon for three minutes on each side. In this way we get a product that is sealed on the outside and juicy on the inside.
On the one hand, you can also cook it without flipping it, although it takes longer. If you choose this cooking style, we recommend you to choose MOWI salmon, which has been descaled and deboned thanks to the latest technology of innovation and factory integration to guarantee a unique gourmet experience. To get the crunch we have to cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes on low heat.
4. Salmon nipples: tricks to wow diners
Papillote is a steam cooking technique that allows you to combine different flavors. To do this, you have to wrap the salmon and its garnish (vegetables or herbs) in parchment paper or a reusable silicone wrap and bake at 180° for 20-30 minutes. In this case, we recommend that you choose large pieces of MOWI salmon. This technique allows the salmon to cook in its own steam for juicier, more tender results.
5. Chilled Salmon: Best for No Time
If you don’t have time to cook salmon with any of the above techniques, you can opt for low-cooked MOWI salmon with herbs or 3 chillies. Both products are ready-to-eat foods that can be eaten hot or cold, or as part of more elaborate recipes. Low-temperature cooking provides a smooth texture and unmatched flavor, preserving all of the salmon’s nutritional value.
With this product, MOWI continues its commitment to innovation and offers consumers a quick and easy solution to incorporating this protein- and omega-3-rich oily fish into a healthy, balanced diet.
