What Internal Temperature Should Salmon Be Cooked To?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Salmon should have an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit before you eat it. After salmon has cooked, its internal temperature will rise another five to ten degrees Fahrenheit, especially when it has been covered with a plate or foil to retain its heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means you can cook salmon until its internal temperature reaches anywhere from 135 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we bet you are wondering, how will I know the internal temperature of my salmon? Well, the easiest way to monitor the internal temperature is to use an instant-read thermometer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These can be inserted into the center of your salmon, make sure this is the thickest part of your fish for best results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will give you an accurate reading of its internal temperature and help you judge if the salmon needs to be cooked for longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to use a dual-probe thermometer. These can be kept in the salmon and will continually monitor the internal temperature while it cooks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth considering which you would prefer, and the price of them, before purchasing an internal thermometer if you don\u2019t already have one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this does not mean you shouldn\u2019t <\/em>eat salmon at 120 degrees. There are a few factors you should consider, though, before deciding if you want to eat salmon cooked to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
