Questions about Chum salmon
How do you cook chum salmon without drying it out?
Chum is leaner than many other salmon, so use a little oil and avoid prolonged cooking. Bake a fillet at 200°C for about 10–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until it flakes and the centre reaches 63°C.
Can you cook chum salmon from frozen?
Yes. Put frozen portions in a covered baking dish with a splash of water or stock and bake at 200°C for roughly 20–25 minutes, checking that the thickest part reaches 63°C. For better browning, thaw it first in the fridge and pat it dry.
How should you store fresh chum salmon?
Keep it covered in the coldest part of the fridge and cook it within one to two days of buying. Freeze it well wrapped if you need to keep it longer; thaw it in the fridge, not on the worktop.
What goes well with chum salmon?
Its mild flavour suits lemon, dill, mustard and soy-ginger glaze. Serve it with boiled new potatoes or rice and greens, or flake cooked chum into fish cakes, chowder or a salmon pasta sauce.
Is chum salmon the same as keta salmon?
Yes. Chum salmon is also sold as keta salmon; “dog salmon” is another common name, particularly for fish returning to spawn.
Is chum salmon a good source of selenium?
Yes. A 100 g portion provides 36.5 µg of selenium, making chum salmon a source of this mineral.
