How to cook
Defrost the salmon and rinse it under cold water. Ensure food is cooked properly before eating. Once defrosted, do not refreeze.
Fry the side without the skin for approx. 4 min. over a medium heat. Then fry the side with the skin for another 4 min. until it is crispy
200 °C; preheat the oven then cook the fillets on baking paper for 10–12 min. with the skin facing up
The fish are raised and processed by The Irish Organic Salmon Company, based in Rinmore, Ballylar, near the northernmost tip of Ireland. Because the salmon swim in the wild ocean, their flesh is particularly firm and low in fat. As a result, Irish salmon ranks among the best in the world.
Fair to people, animals and the environment
Our farmed salmon is kept in line with Naturland standards. Low stock densities are maintained and the fish are given organic feed. Any diseases that occur are treated using natural methods wherever possible and so-called cleaner fish are used to combat lice. The Irish Organic Salmon Company is an important employer in this economically underdeveloped part of Ireland and pays its staff fair wages.
What challenges are associated with salmon farming?
“At our organic salmon farm, the fish are usually harvested between March and November. They grow slowly without the use of hormones. We are exposed to powerful environmental factors on the Atlantic seaboard and feel changes in the climate, such as ocean warming, very keenly. Raising fish in an environmentally friendly way without harmful substances and restricting livestock capacities is our only chance to reduce the impact on our oceans and perhaps even save them.”
