Salt-Cooked Salmon
For succulence, richness of flavor, and without the fishy smell in your kitchen.
Cover the bottom of an iron skillet with 1 inch to 1 ½ inches of coarse Kosher salt. Heat the salt over medium heat until it begins to steam slightly. Place a filet of salmon, skin side down, on the salt and cover the pan. Test the salmon with a fork until it flakes easily. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it could take 10 minutes or more to cook. Be careful that you don’t overcook it and dry it out.
Salmon is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, but only if it is wild. Farmed salmon still has Omega 3’s, but not nearly as high an amount as wild salmon.
Shop at the Berkeley Bowl and Whole Foods for fresh, wild salmon.
