King salmon nutrition

In addition to ample protein, Pacific King salmon offers abundant omega-3s, as well as unrivaled levels of vitamin D and astaxanthin (as-tuh-zan-thin).

• Omega-3s – Provides six to 13 times more than the minimum daily EPA+DHA intake recommended by most world health authorities (250-500mg).
• Vitamin D3 – Provides one- to two-thirds of the child-to-adult US RDA (600 IU) ... more than almost all other fish, and far more than any fortified food.
• Astaxanthin – About 1.49 mg (red king). This red-orange pigment is a carotenoid-class nutrient with unique health benefits. Astaxanthin content varies by color: King portions have the most while Ivory King portions have the least.

Wild king (Chinook) salmon top all wild species for fat and omega-3 content, and is very rich in vitamin D

"Vital Choice King Salmon Fit for a King" Marcella Burney on 03/11/2019 12:51 Review: Speaking as someone on a mission to always eat the most pristine, whole foods, and prepare them in the most delicious way, I can honestly say that your king salmon meets and exceeds all my expectations. The less I do to it in the prep and cooking the better! A drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and a dusting of a spice I’m in the mood for, is all that is needed for your salmon to shine on the plate. Love the burgers too.

"Light and Flaky" Joel on 02/01/2019 13:10 Review: We had been buying the Sockeye skinless but found it too dense. The king is a lighter consistency, flakier, and more moist. The overall taste is not as strong and more appealing. Will be buying this again.

"Great Salmon" Coastal Jo on 12/04/2018 13:00 Review: We love the King Salmon. The fish that we get from Vital Choice is always great. It comes quickly and we enjoy the recipes that are on the site. These pieces grill beautifully.

Storage

Keep frozen at or below 0° F (-18° C). Vacuum-sealed fish held under these conditions should retain its quality for at least six to 12 months. Shellfish and lean white fish (halibut, cod) generally have a longer freezer life than fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sablefish).

NOTE: Seafood stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.

Thawing instructions

Thaw under refrigeration at or below 38 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius). Before thawing, puncture or remove packaging.

For quick-thawing, place frozen package in cool water for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, just until contents are flexible. Once thawed, immediately cook or refrigerate (if refrigerating, puncture package). Prior to cooking, do not allow fish to reach temperatures above 38 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius).

Cooking and serving tips

• Rinse fish quickly in cold, clean water.
• Cook in a medium-hot lightly oiled pan, under a broiler, or on the grill for 7-8 minutes, until only the very center is still translucent.
• Remove fish from heat and let it “self-cook” another two to three minutes, until just cooked through to center before serving.
• NOTE: It is perfectly safe and healthful to serve our fish raw or partly cooked, because flash-freezing has rendered it 100% sushi-safe.
• Enliven your fish entree with seasonings such as Vital Choice Organic Salmon Marinade Mix or other herb-spice blends.
• Add the seasonings of your choice to a little olive oil and marinate the fish, refrigerated, for 30-60 minutes or overnight. Or, simply mist fish lightly with olive oil or macadamia nut oil and dust with seasonings before cooking.
