We understand that the love for seafood is real, and it is not always possible to punch a hole in the pocket while spending time at the restaurant! But we can assure you that from now onwards, you can enjoy restaurant-style salmon at home! Wanna find out how? Let's go!

Common mistakes and blunders to avoid while making salmon at home

1. Do not make the blunder of removing the skin

If you end up removing the skin while roasting on high heat, then there are a few disadvantages to the situation! First of all, the skin acts as a barrier layer between the flesh and the fire and prevents it from getting overcooked. Crispy skin is also very tasty, and many of us prefer to keep it this way! In the absence of skin, it becomes hard to flip the salmon meat!

On the other hand, many of us do not like to have skin on salmon! So you can always remove them after the cooking is done. Only for a few cases like poaching and slow roasting where the salmon is subjected to water, the skin can turn out to be soggy, and hence in such cases, you should remove the skin.

2. Why are you overcooking the salmon

If you do not wish to discard the salmon after so much effort and serve it to the cats, then you have to be careful about not overcooking the flesh. On high heat, it shall take about three to four minutes for the skin to turn crispy and the first to pinkish or opaque.

After 90% doneness, you are expected to remove the salmon from the fire. You can use a file fish spatula to remove the salmon or flip it to make sure both sides of the fish are done right. Do you know overcooking can also turn the flesh to be hard? You do not want that, do you?

3. Only searing the salmon is not enough

Searing the fish is a good method, but it is not good enough when you are avoiding slow roasting. Only thirty minutes is all that you need to slow-roast the fish meat! Contrary to what it is called, slow roasting takes about thirty minutes! During this time, the temperature is maintained around 275°F.

4. Poaching salmon in water

Simply poaching in plain water is not right. Rather, you should add some hint of spices and seasoning to your fish through the water where you are poaching it! Some lemon juice and chopped garlic are good if you want to keep them subtle. You can even try dry white wine if you are having guests over and wish to impress them with your culinary skills.

5. But be aware of the quality of the fish that you buy

If your fish does not take well naturally, then there is nothing you can do and no amount of spice that can help the ship from sinking. There should be enough blood so the flesh should appear reddish! Pale fish meat is a sign that they have been frozen for a long time.

Here are some salmon recipes that you can try out.
