Answer :

The USDA recommends that a salmon steak be cooked until its internal temperature is at least c) 145 ºF .

The USDA recommends that a salmon steak be cooked until its internal temperature is at least 145 F. Seafood, such as fish, should reach this internal temperature to ensure it is cooked to a safe level.

Using a food thermometer is the best way to measure the internal temperature of cooked foods and determine their doneness.

Cooking food to the proper internal temperature is essential because it is high enough to kill the harmful bacteria that cause foodborne illness.
