Simple Instructions for Storing and Thawing Wester Ross Salmon

Storage: Keep frozen ≤ 0℉ (-18° C). Vacuum-sealed fish held under these conditions should retain their quality for at least 6 to 12 months. Lean white fish (halibut, cod) generally have a longer freezer life than fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sablefish). It is important to note seafood stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.

Thawing instructions: Thaw under refrigeration ≤ 38℉ (3℃). Before thawing, puncture or remove packaging. For quick-thawing, place frozen fish in cool water for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, just until contents are flexible. Once thawed, immediately cook or refrigerate (if refrigerating, puncture the package). Regardless of the chosen thawing technique, once the product is thawed, it should be cooked within 24 hours and stored at a temperature no higher than 38℉ (3℃).

Here are easy instructions to cook our 8 oz frozen salmon fillet with the skin on:

1. Thaw the salmon: Ideally, thaw in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a hurry, place the frozen fillet in a sealed bag and submerge it in cold water for 30-40 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Season the salmon: Lightly oil the fillet and season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs or spices.

4. Bake: Place the salmon skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

For crispier skin, finish by broiling for the last 2-3 minutes.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked salmon!
