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

"Delicious King Salmon" Mark P. on 09/22/2018 09:37 Review: I've been ordering from VC for a few years now because of their fishing methods and quality. I cook to temperature and love my salmon at 120 deg. No over cooking for me. Bake in the oven, 300 deg. for 10 minutes, serve with slice of lemon and veggies.I always eat the gray fat. Every once in a while, descale skin, pan sear and eat the crispy skin! it's like salmon bacon!

"Wild Pacific King Salmon" Nan on 07/27/2018 13:38 Review: Wow! This product came quicker than expected and was still completely frozen. I popped most of it in the freezer and left one package to thaw. We just broiled it - AMAZING! The flavor was terrific and we didn't even put anything on it. I will definitely be ordering from you again.

"Always great fish" John C. on 06/26/2018 11:45 Review: I regularly purchase several different products and they are all great. Your nova lox fillets are the best I can find at a good price. The lox is not overly salty or sweet the true salmon flavor comes through! Don’t change anything.

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.
