Advice from chef Gordon Naccarato on salmon cooking & preparation:
-
It is a shame to overcook any fish, particularly salmon. But salmon is wonderfully forgiving because of its high fat content, so... as long as you leave some moisture within and cook the fish to medium-well (or less) you will be OK.
-
Salmon should be served grilled. Otherwise it should be sauteed or oven-roasted at high heat to promote the complex browning reactions that help develop the natural sugars present in the flesh to caramelize and enhance the salmon's natural character.
-
I am not a fan of poached salmon. Poaching leeches the flavor out of the fish and into the poaching liquid.
-
I leave the skin on for maximum flavor, but you can grill the fish with skin off as well as per your preference.
