What does salmon taste like? Every so often, a friend gives my roommate and I a huge bag of salmon which we then give the bag to our neighbor who loves salmon. We hate to tell our friend no. He is very generous. Atleast the salmon is going to a good home, right?

What does salmon taste like?

I really like salmon, but sorry not sure I know how to describe the taste. Other members can probably do that better than me. Why don't you try it yourself Spontaneo?

Salmon is so forgiving too.. hard to mess it up even if you are not a great cook. Just season it.. throw it in the oven or pan for like 15 minutes and you've got a solid meal. Plus all those omega-3s are great for you.

It has a rich kind of buttery flavor.. not super fishy like some seafood. It's pretty mild actually which is why a lot of people who don't usually like fish will eat salmon. You should try..

Vitamin D is the body's food, this thing is not just for the bones. It makes the immune system grow strong. It reduces inflammation. It helps the heart stay clean and stable.
