"Salmon bacon" Review: I have never heard of salmon bacon until this order. It was wonderful and had great flavor. I would definitely order again.
"Salmon Bacon" Review: We especially like this on a toasted bagel with cream cheese.
"Very good but . . ." Review: As with all Vital Choice products, a high quality product that is a nutritional all-star: 2 slices packs 13 grams of protein. But there are a few drawbacks. The taste is too sweet for me. The texture is also somewhat chewy rather than crisp. And as others have noted, the packaging does not allow you to take one or two slices out, and keep the rest frozen. You must use all 12 slices within 1 week. Despite these drawbacks, still an excellent product that I would order again. But I will also be using traditional bacon.

Recipes

Serving/Care
Storage
- Keep frozen at or below 0° F (-18° C).
- Vacuum-sealed salmon bacon held under these conditions should retain its quality for at least six months.
- NOTE: Fish stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.
Thawing instructions
- Before thawing, puncture or remove packaging.
- Thaw under refrigeration at or below 38 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius).
- For quick-thawing, place frozen package in cool water for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, just until contents are flexible.
- Once thawed, immediately cook or refrigerate (if refrigerating, puncture package).
- Prior to cooking, do not allow fish to reach temperatures above 38 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius).
Serving Tips
You don’t need to thaw the bacon before cooking. Just follow the pan or baking instructions below.
For even faster cooking, thaw a bacon package overnight in refrigerator (see instructions above), or place unopened package in cold water for 30 minutes or until flexible.
NOTE: Salmon is rich in healthful omega-3 fatty acids, but is relatively lean overall, and will taste dry if overcooked. Check it frequently during cooking, and do NOT overcook.
