Translation of Product Details & Serving Tips
Based on the product labels and the in-store guide, here is all the information you need to get the most out of your salmon.
Product Name:
Sashimi-Grade Atlantic Salmon Fillet
Country of Origin: Norway
Serving Suggestions by Fillet Section:
Belly Portion (腹身): The richest part with a high-fat content. It’s easy to slice neatly.
Recommended for: Hand-rolled sushi, seafood bowls, and sashimi.
Otoro Section (大トロ): The fattiest part of the fillet. It has a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a sweet, rich flavor.
Recommended for: Sashimi and seared salmon.
Back Portion (背身): The meat has a beautiful marbled texture and is suitable for various dishes.
Recommended for: Salads, carpaccio, fried dishes, and steaks.
Tail Portion (尾身): The leanest part, best for cooking.
Recommended for: Mounier and poke bowls.
Pro-Tip: Easy Portioning: The store guide mentions you can easily cut the fillet right on the tray using kitchen scissors. This is a great way to divide it into smaller, manageable portions for different dishes before you store it.
How to Store and Use Leftovers
The key to this massive fillet is proper storage. Once you get home, immediately portion the salmon into single-meal sizes.
For Sashimi: Cut the portion you plan to eat within 1-2 days and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
For Freezing: For all other portions, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap (no air bubbles!) and place them in a freezer bag. This way, the salmon can be stored for about a month and will be ready for cooking whenever you need it.
Drink Pairing (Mariage)
Salmon’s rich, buttery flavor pairs beautifully with a variety of drinks.
White Wine: A crisp and dry Sauvignon Blanc or a creamy Chardonnay is a perfect match, especially with cooked salmon.
Red Wine: For something different, try a light-bodied Pinot Noir with pan-seared or grilled salmon.
Sake: If you’re enjoying the salmon as sashimi, a dry Junmai Ginjo or Junmai Daiginjo sake will complement the clean, fresh flavor without overpowering it.
