I bought salmon a week ago and wanted to make it for dinner today. When I took it out of the refrigerator, it had a yellow stain on it. What is it? (Page 2 ) | June 18, 2025

 

1. Smell the Salmon: Fresh salmon should have a clean, ocean-like smell. If it smells sour or fishy, it’s likely spoiled.
2. Look for Other Signs: If the fish feels slimy or has an overly strong odor in addition to the yellowing, it is best to discard it.
3. Check the Storage: If the salmon was improperly stored (e.g., kept at an incorrect temperature or left in the fridge for too long), it could have spoiled. Salmon is best consumed within 1-2 days of purchase for the freshest taste and safety.

If you are in doubt, it is always safest to discard the fish rather than risk food poisoning.
