We’re excited to introduce our new Fairway Assured Salmon Portions, sourced from Global GAP-certified farms in Norway. These premium fillets, available in convenient portions of 140-170g and 170-200g, offer a fresh, “just caught” taste and a beautiful coral pink hue that stands out compared to standard frozen options.
Salmon has long been a favourite among chefs and diners alike, known for its rich flavour, nutritional benefits, and versatility in the kitchen. Packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids, these fillets are healthy and perfect for a wide variety of dishes, making them a valuable addition to your menu.
Why Quality Seafood Matters for Chefs
As a chef, you understand that quality ingredients are the foundation of great cooking. Our Fairway Assured Salmon Portions are responsibly farmed, free from artificial additives, and processed in a Grade AA+ BRCGS-certified facility. With ten portions per case, these restaurant-quality fillets ensure consistent freshness and sustainability, allowing you to trust the product’s reliability in your kitchen.
Meeting the Demand for Healthier Dining
More and more diners are looking for healthier, nutrient-rich options, and salmon fits perfectly into this growing trend. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential vitamins, our Fairway Assured Atlantic salmon is ideal for crafting nutritious and flavourful meals.
One way to highlight these fillets is through a poke bowl. Start by steaming jasmine rice, then top with a perfectly cooked salmon fillet, a sprinkle of Fairway Assured sesame seeds, and your choice of fresh salad ingredients, finished with a drizzle of Fairway Assured cocktail sauce. Whether it’s for a light lunch or a hearty dinner, these fillets provide flexibility and nutrition. They can even be used in smaller portions for settings like nursing homes or schools, where nutritional content is key.
The Difference Between Atlantic and Standard Salmon
It’s important to note the stark differences between our Atlantic salmon and the more common pink salmon you might find. Frozen pink salmon, while inexpensive, often lacks the flavour, texture, and appearance of Atlantic salmon. Pink salmon tends to be leaner, resulting in a drier and less juicy texture after freezing, along with a stronger, more earthy flavour.
In contrast, Atlantic salmon is known for its tender, juicy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavour, thanks to its higher fat content. Our farmed Atlantic salmon is raised in controlled environments, ensuring consistent flavour and texture, making it ideal for professional kitchens.
Why Choose Farmed Atlantic Salmon?
Choosing our Fairway Assured Salmon Portions means you’re getting superior taste and texture and choosing sustainability and consistency. Our salmon comes from sustainably managed farms, ensuring you receive a reliable product every time. With a shelf life of up to 23 months when stored at -18°C, our frozen salmon allows for flexibility in menu planning, reducing waste without compromising quality.
Frozen Salmon: Convenient and High-Quality
Modern freezing technology ensures that our salmon is as fresh as the day it was harvested. In fact, many top kitchens use frozen fish because it’s convenient and offers consistent quality throughout the year. Proper thawing is key—defrost overnight in the fridge, or for faster results, use cold running water. If you prefer, the fillets can even be cooked from frozen.
Cooking Tips for Perfect Salmon
For the best experience with our Fairway Assured Salmon Portions, cook to an internal temperature of 50-52°C. This ensures optimal results, with the fillet firm yet slightly translucent at the centre. Be mindful not to overcook, as this may cause dryness and make the salmon fully opaque. Whether baking, grilling, or pan-frying, our salmon excels with minimal preparation.
- Oven Bake: Preheat to 200°C and bake for 12-14 minutes for perfectly moist salmon.
- Grill: Medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Pan Fry (from defrosted): Sear in butter for 3 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other, then finish in the oven if needed.
Conclusion
Our Fairway Assured Salmon Portions offer superior quality, nutritional benefits, and versatility, making them an excellent choice for any chef looking to create dishes that meet the growing demand for healthier dining. Sourced from Global GAP-certified farms, these fillets are packed with flavour and align with sustainable and responsible farming practices.
