On its own, Regal King Salmon is a delicious dining experience. The gorgeous orange color captures your first sense: sight. As the salmon travels to your mouth, your next sense is activated: smell. It’s fresh, reminiscent of the cool, clean deep seawater from where the salmon is raised. Finally, comes the most important sense: taste. The velvety, buttery texture of our salmon melts in your mouth bite after bite.

That’s just our Regal King salmon on its own. Our King Salmon also pairs perfectly with so many other zesty flavors and delicious herbs and spices that will tantalize your senses even more. 

In this blog, we explore some delicious flavor profiles and share some of our favorite recipes so you can bring them to life and taste them for yourself. 

Cold Smoked Salmon Profiles 

Beech Wood Smoked Salmon

To prepare our Beech Wood flavor, we cure the salmon in a blend of sea salt and brown sugar. We then smoke the salmon over New Zealand beech wood at a low temperature for hours. This produces a light sea salt aroma with a mild and sweet smokiness. Regal Beech Wood Smoked Salmon is super versatile and can be the star of any meal.

You’ll get a beautifully rich, smoky flavor profile. It’s a classic Kiwi flavor that can go great in all your favorite meals.
