Description

King salmon, also known as chinook, is one of the most prized varieties of salmon in gastronomy for its intense flavor and firm, juicy texture. This fish is characterized by its deep reddish flesh and high content of healthy fats, which gives it a rich flavor and an excellent ability to remain tender during cooking.

Native primarily to the cold waters of the North Pacific, especially in areas such as Alaska, British Columbia (Canada), and the west coast of the United States, king salmon is also found in certain regions of Chile, providing a fresh and nutritious ingredient to the cuisine of different countries.

In addition to being a delicious food, king salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, B vitamins, and minerals such as selenium and potassium. These properties make it an ideal ingredient for healthy and nutritious dishes, from raw preparations like sushi or ceviche, to grilled, baked, or smoked recipes.

In different Hispanic American countries, king salmon may also be found under names such as Chinook salmon, although "king salmon" is the most common and recognized term in recipes and gourmet markets.
