Salmon is one of the most popular fish in America and also considered very healthy. It’s loaded with protein and vitamins A, B, D and potassium. Salmon is a fatty fish but has heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids. There are many different types of salmon. Pacific Salmon or wild-caught salmon is caught in oceans and rivers. Pacific Salmon has names like King, Coho, Sockeye and Pink and has a rich, robust flavor. Atlantic Ocean salmon is typically farm-raised and has a milder flavor with medium firm flesh and large flakes. My Orange Dill Salmon dish can be grilled or baked in the oven. It has a light fresh orange flavor with a hint of dill. Happy Cooking!
