Disney Dreamlight Valley contains various species of fish to catch, some rarer or more exotic than others. One common variety is salmon, a pink-tone fish that the magical Life Sim game describes as discoverable almost anywhere. However, like other fish in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you can only catch salmon in particular areas of the expansive map and its different biomes. There are also many different cooking ingredients and resources, making it sometimes tricky to remember where to get everything.

Consequently, you might wonder where to find Salmon in Disney Dreamlight Valley and how to catch one. Provided you've unlocked certain biomes on the map, salmon is not tricky to find and catch. It's also possible to get hold of salmon when fishing at Etermity Isle in Disney Dreamlight's Valley's A Rift in Time DLC, in addition to certain areas of the base game.

Compared to other species of fish in Disney Dreamlight Valley, salmon is a fairly common spawn that shouldn't take too long to catch. However, you can only catch salmon by fishing in white ripples found in ponds, rivers, or open water areas of the following biomes as listed below:

  • Sunlit Plateau
  • Frosted Heights
  • The Grasslands
  • The Promenade

Once caught, you can eat salmon to replenish +500 energy, which is helpful when doing energy-zapping tasks like mining or, of course, fishing. Alternatively, if you don't plan to cook with salmon you could sell it at one of Goofy's Stalls for 150 Gold Star Coins. At certain times of year, it's also possible to catch Festive Salmon in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
