Salmon Fabrication

Slippery, slimy and scaly, it’s hard for many to imagine the best way to get rid of the skin of the fish.  Although it’s not absolutely necessary to remove it, de-skinning a salmon fillet opens up an endless amount of possibilities for recipes (hello there, feta and spinach stuffed salmon pinwheels) not to mention overall presentation. All you need is a sharp knife and firm grip and you can fabricate a fish like a master chef in your own home. And with this little tidbit of information, you’ll also be cooking salmon like a professional!

In today’s tutorial, watch one of our online cooking school chefs fabricate a salmon fillet and learn how to do a stylish bias cut. Then you’re all set to tackle an amazing salmon burger recipe or learn how to make a succulently seared fillet.
