Salmon Portions, Loch Duart 160-190g

Loch Duart Salmon Portions are premium salmon portions from Loch Duart — Scotland’s most celebrated salmon farm and a benchmark for sustainable aquaculture. Each portion weighs 160 to 190g. Loch Duart raises its salmon slowly in the cold, clear waters of the Scottish Highlands. As a result, the fish develop a depth of flavour and a rich orange colour. Furthermore, the fat content far exceeds that of standard farmed salmon. Furthermore, Loch Duart holds the Aquaculture Stewardship Council certification for responsible farming. In particular, the farm uses lower stocking densities and a natural diet that produces a genuinely exceptional fish.

About Loch Duart Salmon Portions

We source our fish and seafood from trusted fishmongers and sustainable fisheries across the British Isles and Europe. In particular, we select every species for its quality, provenance and flavour. As a result, the fish we deliver meets the standard of the finest fishmonger. Furthermore, we handle every fish with care from the moment it leaves the water. Our team cuts it to portion, 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 or olive oil and simple seasoning always beat complicated sauces. Additionally, freshness is everything with fish. A short supply chain from source to door makes all the difference. That is why Loch Duart Salmon Portions from The Artisan Food Company consistently meets the expectations of the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Loch Duart Salmon Portions 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 daunting. In contrast to meat, fish needs very little time. Most portions 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 portion completely dry before cooking is essential. This gives a clean, golden sear rather than steaming in its own moisture.

How to Cook Loch Duart Salmon Portions

To get the very best from Loch Duart Salmon Portions:

• Pat the portion completely dry with kitchen paper before cooking. This is the single most important step for a good sear.
• Season generously with sea salt on the skin side immediately before cooking.
• Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan until very hot, then add a small amount of oil.
• Place skin-side down and press gently for the first 30 seconds — cook for 70% of the time on the skin side.
• Furthermore, Loch Duart salmon portions suit a very wide range of preparations. For example, try a simple pan-sear or miso-glazed and roasted at 200°C for 12 minutes.

Perfect Pairings

Loch Duart Salmon Portions pairs beautifully with:

• A classic hollandaise or a lemon and dill butter sauce
• A chilled Chablis, white Burgundy, Sancerre or a dry Riesling alongside
• Braised Puy lentils, roasted asparagus or buttered new potatoes
• Miso, soy and ginger — Asian flavours complement Loch Duart salmon particularly well
