About FARMED ATLANTIC SALMON
Good & Gather Farmed Atlantic Salmon is a frozen fish product from Target's Good & Gather line, featuring Atlantic salmon raised through aquaculture with color added. The two-ingredient declaration — Atlantic salmon and color added — is worth examining: the "color added" notation is required by the USDA when carotenoid pigments such as astaxanthin or canthaxanthin are used in fish feed or applied post-harvest to achieve the characteristic orange-pink color consumers associate with salmon. Wild salmon derives this color from natural astaxanthin in its diet (krill, shrimp), while farmed salmon requires supplementation.
No artificial preservatives, sauces, or sodium solutions are added, making this a minimally processed frozen fish product. It is free from gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, and tree nuts. It is not suitable for individuals with fish allergies.
Nutritionally, Atlantic salmon is one of the most nutrient-dense proteins available: 212 calories per 100g, 20.35g of protein per 100g, and 13.27g of fat per 100g. The fat profile is dominated by omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which support cardiovascular and cognitive health. Zero carbohydrates and zero fiber. Farmed Atlantic salmon typically contains higher total fat than wild-caught varieties, and the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio can be less favorable depending on the feed composition, though it remains a strong omega-3 source.
This salmon is versatile for baking, pan-searing, grilling, or poaching. It pairs well with lemon, dill, capers, and roasted vegetables. At the Market Pantry and Good & Gather price point, it offers a cost-accessible way to incorporate fatty fish into the recommended twice-weekly seafood servings.
