PREPARATION AND COOKING TIPS

Give Your Salmon a Bath

Here is a tip that applies to all kinds of seafood. To get rid of any fishy odor, soak the salmon in 2 cups of water mixed with 1/4 cup white vinegar. Soak for about 3 minutes and then drain. Optional: rinse salmon with water after the vinegar bath. When this tip is used with shrimp or other fish especially fish that has aged and isn’t so fresh, it also improves the flavor. See Shrimp Satay Skewers.

TIPS FOR COOKING SALMON

Leave the Salmon Skin On

To create juicy and delicious salmon leave the skin intact while cooking and pay attention to the firmness and color. Salmon will turn from translucent red to a lighter pink as it cooks. If you leave the inside slightly pink while the outside begins to flake the salmon will be most flavorful. Leaving the skin on even up to serving on the plate will help the salmon stay juicy and together in one piece.

1. Add coconut oil to a heated pan (medium-high heat is good)

2. When oil is hot add salmon, skin-side down, in a single layer

3. Cook 3-4 minutes on side one depending on thickness of filet

4. After salmon begins to firm up and turn lighter pink turn and cook 2-3 additional minutes on side two
