Salmon Roe

Salmon roe, also known as "red caviar," is the eggs or roe of the salmon fish. Unlike trout, which has a smaller and paler roe, salmon roe is larger and has a bright orange to deep red color. It is highly prized for its distinctive flavor and is often served as a delicacy in sushi and other seafood dishes. The texture of salmon roe is delicate, with a thin outer membrane that gives way to a burst of flavor and a slightly crunchy texture. Salmon roe has a more pronounced flavor than trout roe, with a distinct, briny taste that is slightly salty and sometimes slightly sweet. The flavor is more robust than that of trout roe, and can sometimes have a slightly metallic or smoky taste.

The flavor of salmon roe can vary depending on the species of salmon and where it was harvested from. For example, roe from wild-caught salmon may have a more complex and pronounced flavor than that from farm-raised salmon. 

Uses: 

When used in dishes, salmon roe can add a burst of umami flavor and a satisfying pop of texture that complements other flavors and textures in the dish. It is often used in sushi, as a garnish for seafood dishes, or as a component in appetizers and hors d'oeuvres. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of ways. It is commonly used as a garnish for sushi rolls, sashimi, and other seafood dishes. It can also be used as a topping for crackers, toast points. Additionally, it can be used to add flavor and texture to dips, spreads, and sauces.
