Any fish is a supplier of many nutrients to the human body, so fish dishes must be on the menu several times a week.
Pink salmon is not considered the most juicy fish, but we will consider options for how to cook pink salmon quickly, tasty and juicy.
When buying pink salmon, you must remember that the slightest smell of staleness, as well as mucus on the surface of the fish and dull eyes should be a reason to refuse a dubious purchase.
