Fish Recipes : Removing the Skin from a Fillet of Salmon

[Bornandbledfilms]

Thanks very much

[daedalus357]

its a filleting knife... NOT a scimitar. a scimitar is a *sword*...

[almightyseancore]

i cooked a filet tonight and left the skin on, mostly because i didnt know what i was doing. i baked it with some lemon pepper and garlic. it turned out to be awesome.

who had thought skinning fish was so easy. I followed the advise and was done in no time with a clean beautiful fillet. no fish left on the skin at all. the big knife and sharp blade did the trick. thanks so much for sharing

[jackmode]

why remove the skin!? it's so delicious...

[Kknight400]

you right!! the skin is good!! why does no one eat it?

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

Yuk, the skin in horrible and can completely put me off.

[anmerpozzobon]

A dull knife is better. Your not really cutting anything, more of peeling the meat from the skin. A dull knife you can angle down an not worry about cutting threw the skin. This will also give you a better return an leave some fat on the fillet. The dirty brown looking stuff is the fat an thats where the flavor is,

good job man. when i was in cooking school i had a job with that but good advice

[fromtvandback]

I love the skin. In fact, after I am done cooking the salom, I always scrape off whats on the cooking tray and eat the skin YUM

I've skinned thousands of fish..A sharp knife is the worst thing you can do. This guy is a moron

[goldensleeves]

Maybe you're right... If you are, it doesn't make the guy an "idiot" just because he made a mistake. Besides, you didn't give a reason for a sharp knife being a bad idea. I'm looking for a way to learn to cook salmon and since neither you nor this guy gave a good reason, I don't know who to listen to.

[peterk814]

yes it does...since he claims to be an "expert" with a sharp knife you cut right though the skin. If you want to skin with speed and do a good job you use a duller knife

[goldensleeves]

Okay thanks-I will try it with a duller knife to avoid cutting the skin. About the "moron" comment, I still don't think he is a moron for having a different method of skinning a salmon than someone else (including you or me). In fact, even if he fell down and accidently stabbed himself in the hand during the video he wouldn't automatically be justifiably termed a "moron" simply because a superior method for cooking salmon existed that he failed to use. Otherwise, all mistake makers are morons

[peterk814]

he is only a moron because hes here on youtube preaching an incorrect method while claiming to be an expert.

[kustomcougar]

you wanna explain that?

[Folkboat11]

I like to BQ my salmon skin and scale side down on the BQ. low heat to prevent flames. The salmon comes off the skin easily when done. and the skin comes off the grates and into the waste can. Little clean up after :)

[hegemony888]

You can always EAT the skin, It's quite good! Don't eat farmed salmon,it's full of antibiotics and hormones.
