A Whole Salmon Side for Entertaining

This is a full salmon side of about three pounds, priced at $59.99. It comes in fresh from the Faroe Islands and Norway and is sushi grade. The flavor is rich, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture - you can truly taste the ocean. Salmon is also full of omega-3 fatty acids.

A whole side is the easiest way to serve a crowd: roast it in one piece, set it on a platter and let everyone help themselves.

How to Cook a Salmon Side

• Oven roast: place skin-side down on a lined sheet pan, brush with oil or butter, season, and roast at 400°F for about 15 to 20 minutes depending on thickness.
• Grill: cook skin-side down on a cedar plank or foil over medium heat with the lid closed.
• Cold-smoke or cure: a sushi grade side is ideal for homemade gravlax.
• Check the thickest part - it should flake easily, or read 145°F for fully cooked fish.

How Many People Does It Feed?

A three-pound side serves about six people as a main course, and more as part of a buffet.
