About


Salmon skin is a delicious treat, especially when using a high-quality wild salmon. You want to make sure the skin is completely devoid of scales by either running a fish scaler or knife along the skin. Even fish that have been commercially cleaned can still have a few remaining scales.
Once seasoned and crisped in the oven the skin is delicious! You can eat it like strips of bacon or break into chunks or small bits to garnish your dish. Like the flesh, salmon skin is full of nutrients like omega 3s.
For added flavor, marinate the fish with the skin on overnight, then remove for crisping.
