Black Sea salmon (rock salt) Calories

Do not eat Black Sea salmon (rock salt) raw unless its package specifically says it is suitable for raw consumption. Light salting does not reliably eliminate parasites or harmful bacteria, so cooking it thoroughly is the safer choice.

Keep Black Sea salmon (rock salt) refrigerated in a covered container, separate from ready-to-eat foods. Follow the package’s after-opening instructions and use it promptly; salting does not make fish safe to leave at room temperature.

Yes, Black Sea salmon (rock salt) can be frozen. Wrap it airtight, thaw it in the refrigerator, and do not refreeze it after thawing. Rock-salt seasoning does not preserve fish indefinitely in the freezer.
