WHY IT EARNED THE GH SEAL

After extensive evaluations, our food and nutrition experts were impressed with the quality and taste of MOWI's offerings. The flavor and texture of the salmon filets were consistently superior to other farmed salmon we have tried. The pre-seasoned options are a game-changer for quick, tasty meals.

  1. EXCEPTIONAL FLAVOR Its rich, pink hue is complemented by a buttery and savory taste that wowed our culinary pros. A member of our test kitchen even described the fish as, "luscious and succulent." The Tuscan Herb salmon was a standout, with one expert noting, "Sometimes visual seasonings are a letdown, but this salmon was actually herbaceous."
  2. NUTRITIONAL POWERHOUSE Salmon in general is a nutrition superstar – it's packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids that boast anti-inflammatory properties, along with a slew of vitamins and minerals. It's one of the few food sources of choline, an important nutrient that supports brain health, and is rich in selenium and vitamins E, D and B12. One hundred grams of salmon contains only 139 calories and 23 grams of complete protein, which is fewer calories yet more protein than the same amount of meat. Few foods offer such a complete nutritional package as salmon.
  3. VERSATILE ENTREE MOWI salmon offers an ideal, firm-yet-flaky texture that holds up well to baking, air frying and pan frying. With its relatively short cooking time compared to other proteins, it's perfect for busy weeknights. Plus, it pairs nicely with a variety of nutritious sides to create a wholesome, balanced and filling meal. MOWI's cedar plank salmon imparts even more smoky flavor on the grill and makes for an impressive entree for guests.
  4. RESPONSIBLY RAISED Often, farmed fish is relatively affordable, available year-round and fattier and more tender in texture than wild-caught. But it's important to opt for farmed salmon from reputable farms with sustainable and responsible practices. MOWI Salmon maintains important certifications to look for when shopping for sustainable salmon –Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) for safe and ethical farm-raised seafood, and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) for responsible fish and seafood farming.
