Did you wrap it before freezing? I’m no expert but that looks a bit freezer burnt
GerbilFeces
if you froze it right away, yeah thats fine.

If it’s been frozen the whole time, of course it’s fine.

Yes eat it, looking like coho salmon or a red definitely not farm raised, lots of oil in there if it smells good seare that baby medium rare and suck it down

I was in this situation a couple weeks ago, it’s oxidized, it is safe to eat, I can’t speak for everyone but I had no stomach issues and I have a pretty sensitive stomach.
If this is for guests I would personally toss it, I cooked it for myself so I am willing to gamble my life away to save a buck.

You froze it right when you bought it? That discoloration in the middle is just the bloodline.
Next time wrap the filet in plastic to prevent freezer burn tho. Fine if you froze it while fresh.

Have you tried talking to it? Sometimes we just need someone to listen.

Seems to be ok to eat. Trust your senses
Some Kitchen Managers will call it fine or even better. (Those don’t know what they are talking about, never listen to them)

I’m afraid the poor guy might be dead. They are pretty resilient little dudes but sadly they typically don’t survive being cut up and frozen.

So because of one post of bad salmon now we got everyone wanting to know if their salmon is okay

A little freezer burnt. Thaw skin side up in milk, will help texture.

That’s a carrot.

It appears to be dead and frozen, so I would say that the salmon is *not* ok.
Hope that helps, chef!

Looks like freezer burn. You can eat it, but the texture might be a little odd.
