There is nothing better than grilled Norwegian salmon fillets, which take this seafood from Norway to new heights. It has probably become one of the most popular fish due to its rich flavor and delicate texture, which many people like to eat. This recipe not only highlights a unique flavor of salmon, but it also incorporates a hot red curry sauce, which adds a spice kick. Its simplicity and elegant make it easy to prepare perfect for any meal or occasion.
Which type of Salmon to Buy?
When preparing your grilled Norwegian salmon, its essential to choose the best quality fillets. Look for fresh salmon that is bright in color and has a firm texture. Norwegian salmon is known for being a particularly high-fat content with a deep flavor, which keeps it wet even when cooked. To become a more responsible customer, check for sustainable certifications. Whether wild-caught or farm raised, using fresh fillets will provide the best flavor and texture for your recipe.
Norwegian Salmon Cooking Techniques
Cooking Norwegian salmon can be considered an art form because it takes a wide range of culinary talents. Grilling is the most popular method since salmon naturally infiltrates with rich flavor, and cooking adds a smoky flavor.

When grilling, maintaining temperature is essential to ensure that the salmon is exactly cooked and well-crusted without becoming overly dry.
