What temperature should salmon be cooked to?
The USDA recommends that fish need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. However, some say the salmon is overcooked at this point. For medium to medium cooking of salmon, when salmon reaches 125-130°F, remove from skillet and let rest 5 minutes.

Tips for Buying Salmon
When buying salmon from the fish counter or fish market, ask to smell the salmon before buying. Salmon should not have a fishy smell. A fishy smell like the ocean indicates that the salmon is not fresh and may have been sitting out for a while. Fish should always smell clean and fresh. Generally, you want to cook on the same day. If using frozen fish, eat it as soon as possible after the fish has thawed for maximum freshness and minimum fishy smell.

Storage and Reheating Instructions:
We really don’t like reheating fish. It never tasted that good, nor did it stay moist enough for our liking. However, if you find that you have leftovers that need to be reheated, we recommend reheating them slowly in the oven on low heat. Reheat salmon in oven preheated to 275°F until heated through, about 15 minutes.
