Is it okay to eat salmon cooked medium?

The answer

Safe cooking guidance varies by region, so follow your own food-safety agency. The US Food and Drug Administration lists 145 F for fin fish, or flesh that is opaque and separates easily with a fork, and the safest home approach is to cook salmon until it is opaque throughout. If you are pregnant, immunocompromised, older, or caring for young children, consult a qualified professional about what is suitable.
