Learn About Our Salmon!

Salmon steps in for shrimp in this reimagined take on scampi. We kept the recipe true to its classic ingredients with white wine, garlic, and plenty of butter. Here at Sizzlefish, our Atlantic salmon is raised in the remote waters off the Faroe Islands, located between Iceland, Norway, and Scotland. This salmon variety is raised without the use of antibiotics. The flavor is mild and flaky, staying moist when cooked. Sizzlefish salmon portions arrive with the skin on because this is where the heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids are concentrated along the fat line next to the skin. Each portion of Sizzlefish salmon is available in 4 or 6 ounces, perfect for customizing to your needs.

All About The Sauce!

Cubed salmon is first seared in olive oil before preparing the sauce. Garlic is then sautéed in butter until fragrant. Next, white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest are added. The tangy flavors of wine and lemon juice brighten up the fish and complement the richness of the butter. When it comes to white wine, look for a crisp, dry wine with medium acidity. Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay is fantastic. Avoid sweet wines like Riesling or Moscato. If you don’t want to use wine, chicken stock is a great alternative.

2 portions Sizzlefish salmon, cubed
1 tbsp minced garlic
