Crispy salmon skin

I wanted to post how easy and affordable it can be to make a delicious dish from salmon/fish trimmings they sell at a lot of seafood markets.

As you can see I bought a pound of salmon skin for $2.87.

  1. Heat pan on low-medium with a little oil to start.

  2. Lay salmon skin down. I’ve cut it into ~2” pieces.

  3. Fry skin-side down for 10-15 minutes until skin is a little crispy.

  4. Flip and fry meat side for 2-5 minutes. Salmon skin can have a layer of fat so I cook it longer (>5 minutes) to render the fat and really crisp the meat too.

  5. If you want a really to crisp it then put it in a 300f oven on a sheet for 15 minutes or until they turn into crispy salmon chips.

When finishing, dust either sea salt or furikake. Great eating with beer as a snack, on rice, or in a roll with kaiware.
