Salmon Fillets, Extra Large, 4-5kg

Salmon Fillet Extra Large is an extra large salmon fillet side weighing 4 to 5kg. It is the catering and entertaining format for one of the world’s most popular fish. At this size, a single fillet will feed 16 to 20 people as a main course. As a result, it is ideal for large gatherings, buffets and special occasions. Furthermore, salmon at this scale suits a wide range of spectacular presentations — from a whole baked side to a gravadlax-style cure. In particular, the extra large fillet makes an outstanding centrepiece that is far simpler to prepare than its size suggests.

About Salmon Fillet Extra Large

We source our fish and seafood from trusted fishmongers and sustainable fisheries. In particular, every supplier covers the British Isles and Europe. In particular, we select every species for its quality, provenance and flavour. As a result, the fish at your door meets the standard of the finest fishmonger. Furthermore, it compares to what a top restaurant supplier would provide. Furthermore, we handle every fish with care from the moment it leaves the water. Our team fillets it to order, packs it carefully and delivers it chilled in insulated packaging. However, the most important thing is what happens in your kitchen. Fresh fish of genuine quality needs very little. In particular, a hot pan, good butter and simple seasoning always beats complicated sauces. The best fish needs no embellishment. Additionally, freshness is everything with fish. A short supply chain from source to door makes all the difference. That is why Salmon Fillet Extra Large from The Artisan Food Company consistently meets the expectations of the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Salmon Fillet Extra Large From Us

Cooking fish well is one of the most rewarding skills in the kitchen. However, it is also one that many home cooks find intimidating. In contrast to meat, fish needs very little time. Most fillets cook in under 10 minutes. As a result, the margin between perfect and overcooked is small. In particular, the single most common mistake is overcooking. Furthermore, fish continues to cook after it leaves the heat. Therefore, pulling it from the pan a moment early is always the right decision. Moreover, a good non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan makes an enormous difference. Additionally, patting the fillet completely dry before cooking is essential. This gives a clean, golden sear rather than steaming in its own moisture.

When you order Salmon Fillet Extra Large, we handle it with care from water to door. Furthermore, every step — from fishmonger to your door — meets the highest standard. Furthermore, Salmon Fillet Extra Large arrives chilled and ready to cook. Simply remove from packaging and cook.

How to Cook Salmon Fillet Extra Large

To get the very best from Salmon Fillet Extra Large:

• For a whole baked side, season generously and lay on a lined tray. Bake at 180°C for 20 to 25 minutes.
• The fillet is ready when the flesh just begins to flake — however, pull it slightly early as it continues cooking off the heat.
• Furthermore, a whole salmon side makes an outstanding gravadlax — cure in salt, sugar and dill for 24 to 48 hours.
• Additionally, the large format suits poaching in a court bouillon for a classic cold buffet centrepiece.

Perfect Pairings

Salmon Fillet Extra Large pairs beautifully with:

• A classic hollandaise, cucumber and dill for a traditional whole salmon presentation
• A chilled Chablis, white Burgundy or a dry Riesling alongside
• Cucumber, crème fraîche and dill for a Nordic-style serving
• New potatoes with butter and chives, or a dressed green salad for a buffet setting
