About This Product

Enjoy the pure, buttery flavour of Organic Scottish Salmon — raised in the cold, pristine waters of the North Atlantic using certified organic farming practices, free from antibiotics, synthetic pigments, and GMOs. At HQ Meats, our salmon is skin-on, boneless, and sashimi-grade.

How to Cook It

  1. Pat the fillet dry and season with salt just before cooking.
  2. Sear skin-side down in a hot, oiled pan for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook 2–3 minutes more (or bake at 200°C/400°F for 10–12 minutes).
  3. Cook until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Rest 2 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip

Score the skin lightly before searing to help it crisp evenly and lie flat in the pan.
