how would you cook salmon

tiny thin tail fillets skin on.

I like to cook it fast and hot on the back of my grill grates.  I season it with char-crust and a squirt of olive oil.

Don't over cook it.  But, you know that.

Same way you cook thicker ones except faster.

what im not sure about is getting the skin cooked without overcooking the meat or maybe just discarding the skin after the cook. in the bag frozen the thick end looks to be about 5/16 tapering to a potato chip. these must have been some tiny fish. kinda wish they left the tails whole

Me, I would cut them off where it makes sense for dinner fillet, and poach the tails for salmon salad—add mayo etc. make sandwiches or put on cracker.

i think im going to cook a couple maybe in the oven and if it doesnt work, poached in butter, flaked for croquettes.

Hotter for the skin.  Salmon survives overcooking better than most fish.  Especially farmed bc all the fat.

The thin pieces work well for en papillote

I plank them, even with skin on, still get smoke in the meat and skin pulls right off

Being a few cocktails into the evening, I acquire salmon with girth. (Girth over length any day.)  But if a gift than there are several options as noted above.

Not sure about cooking it, but I’ve been wanting to make Salmon Jerky

If they're that thin, fry them into salmon chip type of things. 

caliqueen picked these up from Costco recently. They were pretty good. Should be easy to make something similar, even without the salted egg yolk.

Edit: it may  seem like my stock answer is "deep fry it!", but, come on... crispy fish skin is delicious.

Have you deep fried garlic yet?  Because I have to think if anyone has tried that, it is you.

Sort of.  “Burnt garlic” fried rice is pretty damn good. Fry the shite out of the garlic, and it has a great caramelized flavor.

I like it, many years since I made croquettes. Got me thinking thanks for the reminder

Don't look at me, I didn't say anything.

If frozen, thaw in air fryer for five minutes then add dressing and spices. Run for 10 minutes at 400. Perfect every time.

Fry in garlic butter? Everything tastes good in garlic butter!

Citrus Salmon Glaze

1/3 cup Brown Sugar

2 Tbsp. Lemon Zest

Juice from ½ Lemon

1 ½ tsp. Kosher Salt

½ tsp. Black Pepper

 

Mix the above in a food processor (it will result in a firm paste)

Put a whole salmon filet on parchment, skin side down

Grill indirect with a little mild smoke at 225 to 275

After about 10 minutes, spoon on the glaze (it will be too firm to brush initially, but will thin as it warms)

Brush the glaze over the salmon, keep adding glaze throughout the cook.

You may need to brush away the white protein as it appears



Serve immediately or wait until it cools to room temp

plan now is to hit it hard in the castiron on high heat, then into a sheet pan with some type of hoisin glaze. hoping for a crunchy sticky fish chip. will have some fish chowder and scallops to go with it

This has Gin in it, lol. Its actually pretty good stuff. I would just scale back the amounts and maybe a little less cure time
