Atlantic salmon is one of the world's most widely consumed fish, prized for its rich, fatty flesh and distinctive pink-orange color from carotenoids in its diet. Farmed Atlantic salmon dominates supermarket shelves globally while wild Pacific species are prized in North America. It has a buttery, mild flavor and is suited to grilling, baking, pan-searing, and smoking.
