Frequently Asked Questions About Salmon trout
What is salmon trout?
Salmon trout is a name commonly used for trout with pink or salmon-coloured flesh, often rainbow trout. It is trout, not salmon, despite the name and the similarity in colour.
Is salmon trout a hybrid of salmon and trout?
No, salmon trout is not generally a salmon–trout hybrid. The name usually describes trout whose flesh is pink; salmon and trout are related fish, but the market name does not mean they were crossbred.
Why is salmon trout called salmon trout?
It is called salmon trout because its flesh can resemble salmon in colour. The name refers to its appearance and market identity, not to the fish being a salmon or having the same flavour as one.
How does salmon trout taste compared with rainbow trout?
Salmon trout is usually mild, tender and slightly rich, much like other rainbow trout. Its pink flesh may look more like salmon, but the flavour is generally delicate rather than the stronger, fuller taste many people associate with salmon.
What is the best way to cook salmon trout?
Bake or pan-fry salmon trout until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily. A little oil, lemon and herbs complement its mild flavour; avoid overcooking, since leaner portions can dry out quickly.
Can you cook salmon trout from frozen?
Yes, salmon trout can be cooked from frozen, although it may take longer and cook less evenly than thawed fish. Remove any packaging, cook it thoroughly, and check the thickest part before serving.
Can you eat the skin on salmon trout?
Yes, salmon trout skin is edible when properly cleaned and cooked. Pat it dry and cook skin-side down until crisp; check that scales have been removed, since they are unpleasant to eat.
Does salmon trout have a lot of bones?
Salmon trout has bones, including small pin bones that can remain in a fillet. Feel along the flesh before cooking and remove any you find with clean tweezers; a whole fish also has a backbone and rib bones.
Is salmon trout safe to eat raw?
Only eat salmon trout raw if it has been specifically handled and prepared for raw consumption, with parasite risks controlled. Fresh-looking fish is not automatically safe for sushi; cook it if you cannot verify its suitability.
How long do cooked salmon trout leftovers keep?
Cooked salmon trout leftovers keep in the refrigerator for about 3–4 days when promptly chilled and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, or freeze leftovers sooner for longer storage.

What is Salmon trout?
Salmon trout is a name commonly used for trout with pink or orange flesh; it does not mean the fish is a cross between trout and salmon. It is often farmed, and its flesh is tender, moist and mildly rich, with a flavour that is gentler than many salmon varieties.
It can be grilled, pan-fried or baked, and is often served with lemon, herbs and vegetables. A familiar choice in parts of Europe, it also works well as a simple home-cooked fish dish anywhere. Salmon trout is protein-rich and contains no carbohydrates, making it a satisfying option for a main meal. For a lighter plate, cook it with little added fat and pair it with greens or roasted vegetables.
