About the Fish: Salmon
Biology: Salmon (Salmo salar) is a cold-water species of fish that thrives in the North Atlantic Ocean and its tributaries. You can also find it in the Pacific Ocean, with different species living along the coasts of North America, Japan, and Russia.
Taste & Nutrition: With a rich, buttery taste and firm, flaky texture, salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B6, B12, and D, along with minerals like selenium.
Cooking: Chefs love salmon for its versatility in dishes. You can bake, grill, smoke, or pan-sear it, and it will retain its firm texture and smooth flavor through all these different cooking techniques.
Sustainability: We sustainably harvest Nordic Catch Salmon and deliver it to your door fresh, never frozen. Our supply team rigorously monitors the fishing practices in Iceland to prevent overfishing, catching the majority of the salmon using longline methods. By choosing Nordic Catch Salmon, you’re supporting sustainable fishing practices that help preserve our ocean ecosystems.
Ingredients
-
10.6oz Nordic Catch Marinated Salmon

Salt

1 bunch broccolini, chopped into 1-2 pieces
-
2 tbsp avocado oil
-
2 Persian cucumbers

1/2 avocado

Directions
Marinated Salmon
Pat salmon dry with paper towels (important to getting super crispy crust!)
Season lightly with salt (marinade already has some!)
Meanwhile... Broccolini
Set broccolini in steaming basket over simmering water
Steam for 2-3 minutes until bright green and fork tender
Rinse well with cold water and set aside
Back to Salmon
Wipe pan clean and set over medium heat
Add avocado oil, swirl to coat
Place salmon skin side up and pan fry until a crispy crust forms
You should see the fish is cooked halfway or more up the sides (approx. 6-8 minutes)
Flip and cook thouroughly, approximately 3-5 more minutes
Remove from pan
Meanwhile... more veggies!
Trim the ends of your cucumber and slice thin, lengthwise using a mandolin or sharp knife
Cut your avocado into slices
Place both in a bowl with ponzu and Nordic Catch Hot Lava Salt, toss to coat
Garnish with optional sesame seeds
Without cleaning out your pan, set over medium heat
Add garlic, sautee until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes
Add steamed broccolini, 1/4 cup water, and salt to taste
Cook until heated through and most of the water has evaporated
Remove from heat and squeeze lemon juice over
Plate everything together and finish with Nordic Catch Hot Lava Salt!
