When cooking salmon, it is important to cook it to the proper internal temperature to ensure that it is safe to eat and has the best texture and flavor. The “temp of cooked salmon” refers to the internal temperature of the fish when it is cooked through.
The ideal temp of cooked salmon is 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). At this temperature, the salmon will be cooked through but still moist and flaky. Cooking salmon to a higher temperature will make it dry and tough. Cooking salmon to a lower temperature may not cook it through, which could lead to foodborne illness.
