About
FROM THE FJORDS TO YOUR TABLE
A delicious, versatile fish with its distinctive pink flesh, the Norwegian salmon is known for its oily texture and distinctive aromatic flavour which lends itself to anything from sashimi to the braai. Our salmon is sourced from farms in the Norwegian fjords with their cold, clear and pristine waters. The salmon are allowed to grow at their own pace and are harvested when they reach maturity after 12 – 18 months.

Eco rating
Our Norwegian salmon is cultivated according to stringent regulations which ensure that this fish has a lower carbon footprint than both beef and pork. The farms are found in environmentally suitable locations, and the population is maintained at 2.5% salmon to 97.5% water to ensure the fish are not overcrowded. No routine antibiotics are used on this salmon and up to 70% of feed is made from vegetable sources. To further offset carbon emissions due to transport, Greenfish commits to plant one tree for every ten boxes of salmon sold.

Fishwife Recipes
Quick and Easy Gravlax
Gravlax is known for being the luxury food that is the easiest to prepare as this recipe from The Fishwife demonstrates. You will need:
- 1 x Greenfish Norwegian Salmon Fillet
- 1/4 cup aquavit, or vodka
- 1/3 cup fine sea salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped dill
Preparation:
- Cut the fish in half for two equal pieces
- Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry.
- Drizzle the aquavit or vodka evenly over the salmon.
- In a small bowl combine the salt, sugar and pepper.
- Place 1/6th of the salt and sugar mixture in a dish and place the first fillet in the dish skin side down.
- Spread a third of the curing mixture over the fillet and do the same for the second fillet.
- Sprinkle the dill on the flesh side of both fillets.
- Now place the second fillet on top of the first skin side up.
- Spread the remaining curing mix over the skin of the second fillet.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place a cutting board on top weighed down by a few cans.
- Place in the fridge for 12 hours
- After 12 hours remove the fish and drain the excess juices, and flip both fish over so the skin up fillet is now skin down and vice versa.
- Then repeat step 10 and 11.
- The longer you leave the fish the more cured it will be, as a rule of thumb 24 hours is a light cure, 36 hours is a medium cure and longer results in a heavily cured fish.
