How to choose fresh and delicious salmon
- Fresh salmon will have bright pink or orange flesh, dry and not slimy. Additionally, the fish’s marbling should be evenly colored and bright.
- When touched, it feels firm with good elasticity. If pressed, it should leave a dent but immediately return to its original state, indicating that the salmon is still fresh.
- Moreover, choose fish that has a natural fishy smell, without any strong or foul odors.
- Avoid fish that has dark colors, dull appearances, and tiny brown spots on the surface, as this indicates that the fish has started to spoil and is no longer usable.
