Where to buy salmon?
Sustainable salmon can be found at Whole Foods or your local health food market. In addition to that, Costco sells sustainable salmon in the freezer section where the filets are already individually wrapped.
Wild Caught vs Farm Raised Salmon
Sustainability is a big factor when it comes to comparing the two, but flavor and taste is also very different! I personally love Norwegian Farmed Atlantic Salmon. It has a meaty yet buttery texture that is super soft and flakey almost like a white fish. However, wild caught is the healthier alternative with its more firm and meat like texture. I’ve started to buy the latter for health reasons.
Salmon Substitute
Exchange it for catfish! Seriously, just do it. Indian flavored catfish is my weakness. In fact, catfish is my weakness. Can you tell I’m a southern girl? I love the texture and flavor of catfish. This masala pairs oh so well with it too. There are no other substitutions needed. Just a fair swap of the fish kind.
