Salmon cooking internal temp refers to the internal temperature at which salmon is considered safe to eat. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). This temperature ensures that any harmful bacteria present in the fish are killed.
Cooking salmon to the correct internal temperature is important for both safety and quality. Undercooked salmon may contain harmful bacteria, while overcooked salmon can be dry and tough. Using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon is the best way to ensure that it is cooked to the correct temperature.
