Notes
- Salmon Skin: Unless you are poaching salmon, you should always leave the skin on during cooking to protect the bottom of the salmon from overcooking. The skin will slide right off of a cooked fillet.
- Doneness Guide: Perfectly cooked salmon will be opaque on the outside, and in the center, the meat should easily separate and look translucent pink. If the meat does not separate well and the fish looks completely translucent, the salmon is undercooked. Overcooked fish will flake and look opaque all the way through. Also, as the fish cooks it will begin to develop a white film on top; overcooked salmon will have a lot of this film.
