Salmon Night

Waterscapes · March 2010

I am cooking salmon tonight. Last time I left the skin on during the cook. Should I take it off?

I find that the skin helps keep the salmon from splitting, particularly if you get a thin fillet portion. It also allows me to cook over screaming high heat, and get a nice crisp sear on the non-skin surface, and then flip the salmon over so it's skin-side-down, and not have to worry so much about over-searing that side before the fillet cooks through.

Skin makes pretty good eats for me. Some people may say "yuck," but I like it. dogs do too.

I usually plank mine, indirect, skin on, and cook to 135-140, meat slides right off the skin.

By now, I’m thinking you have cooked, eaten and may even be off to “never, never land”, but I’ve got to chime in here.
If I can get salmon with skin on…That is how it goes on the Egg! Especially on the grid.
On a plank, I can go either way…And in the kitchen, with a number of dishes I do, it’s mostly (skin off) filleted.
Give us a report buddy, how did it turn out?
