Your poor dog has a narcissist mom. You probably eat in Indonesian resturant.

Did you defrost it first and then cooked it?

Ok it seems thawing is the general consensus. I had tried cooking from frozen based on a few recipes I found online and it was really not good. I will try thawing!

Thaw, salt & pepper, pan sear skin to a crisp, and flesh to a medium-rare/medium…squirt of lemon on top. Perfection!

I'm going to echo "thaw it"

However if you forget, pull it out halfway through and then season it, rather than seasoning at the beginning. The salmon will release moisture as it thaws while cooking and the seasoning won't stay on.

I’m with everyone else - thaw, pat dry, then either Ina’s panko crusted salmon or the Katie Lee Biegel Agrodolce Salmon are our favourites. I also make a nice one that just has a lemon/dill/greek yogurt sauce.

I almost always buy frozen salmon. You have to thaw it, pat it dry, and then prepare it how you want. Sometimes I combine spices to make blackened salmon. Sometimes I use a pre-blended spice for salmon or other pre-blended. If I make it on the stove I cook it in my cast iron skillet with a little oil. The last time I made it, I baked it topped with Lemon pesto I bought from Trader Joe's. It was delicious! I wouldn't try cooking it frozen.

If you try to cook it from frozen, it'll dry out before it gets cooked through.

I like to grill it on a piece of foil with olive oil, garlic salt, and lemon juice. Fresh herbs if I have them - basil, thyme, oregano, chives, or parsley are all good. Most important is to not overcook.


This. It's unlikely you're eating fresh caught salmon that has never been frozen.

To deforest follow package instructions. Some day to remove from plastic before defrosting.

This is family favorite and the foil/tomatoes combo keeps it from drying out

I prefer to use fresh herbs (oregano or basil) for this:

Thaw it, coat in olive oil and salmon rub seasoning from Trader Joe’s. I bake 2 filets in my oven on the air fry setting/convection 400 degrees for 18 mins (check at 15 mins with a meat thermometer). I like my salmon a little bit more done so prefer around 165 degrees. I will add my favorite already frozen salmon is the Atlantic salmon filets from Whole Foods. I think it comes maybe 6 filets to a bag- pretty good, not super fishy.

I try to get steaks or fairly thick filet slices.
I either bake them with white miso on top or make crispy skin salmon in a heavy skillet.
For the latter, rectangular pieces work well. I put a little oil in the pan, get it hot, drop the patted-dry salmon in skin down. When it's gotten dark and crispy, I use tongs to flip it lower the heat finish cooking.

I would thaw it, pat dry with paper towels. Spread an equal mix of brown sugar and old bay on flesh side then broil skin-side down 10-12 minutes to desired temperature.

I love salmon but buying it fresh it getting too expensive. I have tried cooking it from frozen a few times and it never turns out super great. Does anyone have a tried and true method of preparing raw salmon from frozen they would be willing to share?
