We have never been able to perfect the crispy sking thing really. What do you do to get that nice cripsy texture?

 

[Tony]

I have a great thick copper based SS fry pan.

I heat it up but not to hot. Add some olive oil and the salmon filet skin up. Let it cook for a minute or so and jam the frypan under the grill (whick you have pre heated)

The pan needs to be thick based to hold heat and continue to cook from below and the grill will cook it from the top...... and make the skin crispy!

Only takes a few min to cook and when its some it will be crispy skinned, caramelised on the flesh side and perfectly cooked through.

I still need to perfect a good sauce to go with this.

I love it!

cheers

Henno, Tony is on the money with the olive oil and a good pan
Our variation is to put rocksalt on the skin then cook the fish skin down until it is 80% done then flip for the last little bit. Gee it was tasty tonight :icon_drool2: .
Last hint, Butter can be used in conjunction with olive oil but on it's own it tends to burn and become bitter.
Cheers

PS It looks like you manage to get a fair bit of practise at cooking fish judging by your avatar

 

[Tony]

Hmmmmm salt on the skin hey........ what a great idea. The salt will draw out the moisture and help crisp it up.

That one is locked in the old memory bank!

cheers

What do they taste like?

 

[Pollux]

Awesome, next time I'll salt them before cooking some the rock salt sticks.

Even the wife is attacking them, and she hates pretzels.......

 

[Airgead]

I freely admit that I am showing off here...

Tonight's dinner -

Slow roasted pork belly with garlic and sage baked potatoes, sauerkraut and a sauce of pan drippings, caramelised onion and apple brandy.




And freshly baked rye bread.




Both kids went back for seconds of sauerkraut. There's enough left over for a lunch of pork belly sandwiches on rye tomorrow. Yum.

To show off just a little more - breakfast tomorrow (rye fruit bread).



Cheers
Dave

 

[Henno]

The thread is really about showing off. So knock yourself out.

Now stop showing off!

Not a bread guru as yet, what is rye bread like?
