This “So Tender” Salmon Fillet Is the Best I’ve Ever Had (I’m Stocking Up!)

Despite consistently ordering it when I eat out, I tend to avoid cooking fish in my own kitchen. It’s just not as simple as making something like chicken or burgers — its leanness means that it can easily become overcooked — and even though I try to branch out every once in a while, I tend to play it safe with my weeknight dinners. However, there is one seafood dish that I’ll regularly take a chance on at home: salmon. 

If I do say so myself, I think that I’ve perfected my method of baking salmon in the oven, and the process has become as easy and effortless as any of my other go-tos. Plus, when I decide to whip up a fillet, it seems way fancier than all of my other regular dinners, without any extra hassle. Another aspect that’ll make the process even easier? I’m planning on ordering it right to my door. After trying Egg Harbor’s perfectly moist and tender salmon fillets at QVC’s Foodie Fest event this summer, I’m planning on stocking it in my freezer. Keep reading to find out why I became a fan at first bite!

Part of Rastelli Food Group — which also makes top-notch filet mignon that I love — Egg Harbor Seafood freezes its offerings at the peak of freshness for a clean taste. These salmon fillets come from the cold waters of Faroe Islands in Denmark, which the brand says “are known for their high standards of fish farming, which includes strict regulations on fish welfare, feed quality, and environmental impact.”

The result is salmon that’s flavor-packed and flaky, regardless of whether you steam, fry, bake, or grill it. One order includes 10 six-ounce fillets, with each individually wrapped. After being packaged in dry ice, it’ll show up within two days of shipment, so the fish will be in perfect condition.

I’ve had my fair share of salmon at high-end seafood restaurants, and Egg Harbor’s is right up there with the best of them. I love salmon for many reasons — it’s packed with good-for-you omega-3 fatty acids, it feels light and filling, it pairs well with most side dishes — but chief among them is how fancy it feels without requiring a lot of lift. With its melt-in-your-mouth silky texture and lack of fishy taste, Egg Harbor’s definitely comes across as high-quality. The price tag, however, doesn’t reflect that: Each included portion costs $10 when you do the math. That’s a total steal considering that it’s on a par with the $30-plus entrees I’ve eaten at restaurants.

I’m not alone in my opinion: Over 2,000 QVC shoppers have given Egg Harbor’s salmon five stars. “It arrived with lots of dry ice remaining and the portions vacuum sealed,” one review says. “I’ve definitely given up buying salmon at the supermarket. This salmon was heads and shoulders above in terms of taste, freshness, and texture.”

With holiday hosting on the horizon, you can serve this as a main course to your guests, too. You can set it up so it ships automatically every 60 days, so you never run out. Trust me, once you make your first batch, you’ll always want to have it on hand!
