Crispy skin salmon with a teriyaki-hoisin-whatever-bottles-of-sauce-we-have-in-the-fridge-door glaze. Rice, diced cucumber, sliced avocado, and an unnecessary amount of green onion. Topped with a bottle of sriracha mayo I bought for a creamy element in case the avocado was sketchy.
TIL some people eat the skin… I even skip eating chicken’s skin :P
It varies between fish whether or not you want to keep the skin on while cooking. Some just turn to rubber if you try to sear them. Salmon skin comes out a bit like crispy chicken skin. It adds some nice texture and meaty flavor. But everyone’s got their own preferences.
As long as it’s crispy, it’s good!
I was wondering the same… Like why is the skin on top. Then I re-read the title…
I had wasabi flavored salmon skin yesterday, from a little bag similar to how potato chips are sold. It was crispy, salty, spicy; nothing fishy about it.
Here in Korea (and I think China too) you can buy seasoned deep fried fish skin in big bags which people use as a snack similar to how people eat potato chips in the west. Sometimes it’s also used in cooking to get in some texture and umami.
I die inside when I see people peel off perfectly good fish skin lol. Like dude don’t waste, give that deliciousness to me
Fish skin is literally one of the most nutritious parts too - packed with omega-3s and collagen that’s great for your skin and joints, such a waste when peole toss it!
