Darne De Saumon Au Beurre...Buttered Slice Of Wild Pacific Pink Salmon.

Pacific Wilde Pink Salmon From Alaska.
As we have already mentioned in my previous posts on salmon, wild salmon is leaner than the that obtained from  aquaculture. The wild salmon has ocean as its habitat with lots of exercise while the other has a limited space crammed with other salmon and does nothing except eat and swim around lazily in its confined space. A leaner salmon means a salmon whose fat does not nauseate you. By eating more fat does not mean ingesting more Omega 3. Pacific Salmon is pink by nature and does not have this strong orange color as that of the Atlantic fisheries which sometime even add dye to make them "appear appetizing". In conclusion whenever we can find Pink Pacific Salmon from Alaska we buy it and is at a fraction of the price of the other one. Today I wold like to share with you plain saute salmon with lemon,butter,sage sauce....
