Atlantic Salmon vs. Farmed Salmon
Always try to buy Atlantic Salmon if possible vs. farmed salmon. You can tell the Atlantic Salmon by its deep red color. Atlantic salmon is fresh salmon pulled from the ocean. Farmed salmon is raised in an enclosure or a pond.
Salmon is rich in Omega-3 and can be eaten every week. We served this delicious Apricot Glazed Salmon over rice noodles and cucumber salad.
