Experience a true delicacy of the Pacific Northwest with our Wild Canadian Candied Smoked Salmon, also known as Indian Candy. This unique and traditional treat blends the savory, smoky flavors of wild-caught salmon with a delicate sweetness that makes each bite irresistible. Originally developed by Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Coast, this product is deeply rooted in history, culture, and the natural abundance of wild salmon. Crafted using time-honored techniques, our candied smoked salmon offers an exquisite balance of flavors that celebrate the heritage of Canadian seafood.
Origin of Indian Candy
Indian Candy traces its roots to the Indigenous communities of Canada’s Pacific Coast, where salmon has been a vital resource for centuries. The salmon was smoked and dried as a method of preservation, allowing it to be stored and consumed over long periods. To create a special treat, the salmon was sometimes cured with sweeteners like maple syrup or honey, resulting in the birth of “candied” salmon. This process not only enhanced the flavor but also made the salmon more shelf-stable. Today, candied smoked salmon continues to be a popular product, preserving the rich tradition while offering a delicious twist on smoked seafood.
Flavor Profile
Our Wild Canadian Candied Smoked Salmon delivers an incredible flavor experience. The rich, buttery taste of premium wild-caught salmon is beautifully balanced by a sweet glaze, creating a tantalizing contrast of savory, smoky, and sweet flavors in every bite. The salmon is slow-smoked over natural hardwood, enhancing the deep, natural flavors of the fish while the glaze caramelizes on the surface, resulting in a chewy, flavorful texture that is both satisfying and unique.
Product Features
- Premium Wild-Caught Salmon: We use only the highest quality wild-caught sockeye or pink salmon from Canada’s pristine waters, known for its vibrant color, firm texture, and rich flavor. Wild salmon is naturally lean, high in protein, and packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
- Traditional Smoking Method: Our candied salmon is slow-smoked over natural hardwood using time-honored techniques. This traditional smoking process infuses the salmon with a deep, rich flavor while preserving its natural moisture and tenderness. The smoke also complements the natural oils in the salmon, adding a complexity of flavors that are both savory and smoky.
- Sweet Glaze: The sweet glaze, made from brown sugar, adds a delightful contrast to the savory smoked salmon. The sweetness is perfectly balanced to enhance, not overpower, the natural taste of the fish. This glaze caramelizes during the smoking process, giving the salmon a slightly chewy, candy-like texture.
- A Nutrient-Rich Snack: Not only is our candied smoked salmon delicious, but it’s also packed with nutrients. Wild salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. This makes it a wholesome snack option that you can feel good about indulging in.
