crispy fish skin
« Reply #-1 on: August 25, 2014, 08:36:02 PM »
I must apologize for not having more pictures. I wasn't planning on sharing this.

Trick to avoid that white stuff when you cook fish, especially salmon, is brine for about 15 minutes. Use basic brine 1 tablespoon of kosher salt to a cup of water.
Thoroughly dry the fish after brining.

Second trick is gentle heat.
Now for crispy skin, heat oven to 350. Heat a skillet with a thin layer of oil, preferably cast iron, on medium heat.
When the oil starts to shimmer place fish skin side down and cook undisturbed until skin is nicely browned. About 5 minutes.
Get the skillet into the oven without turning the fish. Cook until 5 degrees shy of your desired temp. Now turn the fish over and fish cooking off the heat. The residual skillet heat will do the rest.

Serve



Thank you for the visit.
