As a sea fish, its growing environment is different from that of a river fish, so the taste and nutrition of salmon will be different, and it can be cooked in a variety of ways, either cold or hot. Salmon (scientific name Oncorhynchus) is the English word for "salmon". Salmon is divided into the salmon family Salmonidae and the trout family Salmonidae, so it is accurate to say that Salmon is a salmon trout. There are two types of trout in the Salmonidae family: sea trout and rainbow trout.
