Full product description

Named “Best Sushi Grade Seafood Delivery” by Food Network

Our flagship Icelandic salmon is the product that helped define Nordic Catch.

Raised in Iceland’s cold, clean ocean waters, this premium Atlantic salmon is selected for its mild flavor, refined fat structure, and exceptional performance when served raw. Each approximately 5.5 oz portion is cut skin-on, vacuum-sealed, and ready for sashimi, nigiri, sushi rolls, poke, or cooking.

The result is a clean, buttery salmon with a firm yet silky texture and a mild, slightly sweet finish.

Why Icelandic Salmon?

Icelandic Atlantic salmon is known for its clean flavor and consistent quality. Cold ocean temperatures, strong currents, strict aquaculture standards, and careful handling produce salmon that is:

  • Clean and exceptionally mild
  • Firm yet buttery
  • Rich without feeling overly heavy
  • Consistent in color and texture
  • Ideal for sashimi, sushi, poke, and crudo

Nordic Catch directly imports this salmon from Iceland and portions it specifically for our customers. It is not a generic, mass-market salmon portion sourced through multiple distributors.

Skin-On for Better Quality and Versatility

Each portion is cut with the skin on. The skin helps protect the delicate flesh during handling and gives you more ways to prepare it.

For sashimi, nigiri, poke, crudo, or tartare, remove the skin with a sharp knife before slicing. For cooking, leave it attached and sear skin-side down for a crisp exterior while keeping the center moist and buttery.

What Does Icelandic Salmon Taste Like?

This salmon has a refined flavor that performs especially well raw.

Expect:

  • Mild, clean salmon flavor
  • Buttery richness
  • Firm yet silky texture
  • Delicate sweetness
  • No muddy or overly fishy finish

Its balanced flavor works beautifully with soy sauce, fresh wasabi, ponzu, citrus, sesame, sea salt, or minimal seasoning.

How to Prepare Salmon Sashimi

Keep the salmon cold until you are ready to prepare it.

  1. Remove the salmon from its packaging and pat it dry.
  2. Place the portion skin-side down on a clean cutting board.
  3. Carefully remove the skin with a sharp knife.
  4. Slice against the grain using smooth, single strokes.
  5. Serve immediately as sashimi, nigiri, poke, crudo, or tartare.

Avoid sawing back and forth with the knife, as this can damage the salmon’s delicate texture.

Excellent for Cooking Too

Although selected for raw preparation, this Icelandic salmon is also excellent cooked.

Pan-Seared

Leave the skin attached and sear skin-side down until crisp. Finish gently to keep the center moist.

Oven-Roasted

Season simply with sea salt, olive oil, lemon, and herbs. Roast until the salmon separates into tender flakes.

Grilled

Lightly oil the skin and grill skin-side down over medium heat. The skin helps hold the portion together.

Air-Fried

Season lightly and air fry until the exterior is golden and the center remains tender.

Customer photo review of Salmon, Sushi Grade from Iceland (5.5oz portion)

Everything was perfect and delicious! From the ease of ordering and selecting my preferred shipping date to contacting customer service to move the delivery up by a day the week of, the entire experience was seamless and incredibly accommodating. The fish itself was excellent quality and was the perfect addition to a sushi cake I made for my husband, which he specifically requested for his birthday! Since we don’t have access to sushi-grade fish locally, I was so happy to come across Nordic Catch. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Great fish. Arrived as requested on Thursday with plenty of dry ice. Thawed and prepared for 48 hr salt plus other special ingredients cure Monday. Cold smoked Thursday 7.5 hours. So the Icelandic salmon is my first from that region. It is oily relative so a Chlian salmon but tastes very good. With my guests we will refine that evaluation but I am certain it will be a hit

These simple yet vibrant ingredients come together beautifully for a refreshing, restaurant-quality meal.

Wow! This was great. Until I found you guys, we were ordering salmon from Alaska and trimming everything ourselves. What a PITA and based on what we were able to get, there was a lot of waste after trimming. So glad to have found your site. You are now our go to site for Salmon... Thanks, Eric
