Defrosting Salmon
DIR By: Spuck

I bought some salmon fillets for dinner tonight, and took them
out of their packaging last night. Initially, I put the salmon
with nothing on them on a rack and pan so that as they dried the
condensation would fall off the first and not be reabsorbed into
the fish. On the packaging it said I should have put Salmon in a
plastic bag. I did that this morning because it was still pretty
solidly frozen.
So what is the best way to defrost fish? The packaging in my
salmon gives two directions, one says let them defrost in a
plastic bag and the other just says let it defrost in the
fridge.

I defrost mine in the fridge and that has always worked well.

Agreeing with baritone108 -- I'll buy servings of fresh salmon
when it's on sale and freeze them in their original package.
Then remove from freezer the morning before, put in fridge (in
the same package) and by dinner cooking time the next day it's
defrosted and ready to cook.

A fisherman buddy told me to defrost fish by leaving/putting
them in a ziplock and submersing them in water. It worked
wonderfully with the pike fillets he gave me.

Thank you the information. Defrosting the fish went good, though
the meal itself did not because I forgot to pat dry the fish
before taking off the skin and I destroyed the salmon
unfortunately.

Just don't do what my MIL does: unwrap it and put it in a bowl
of water! The first time I saw her doing that she spotted me
goggling in disbelief, and kindly explained 'you should try
defrosting it that way; it's so much quicker!'
It used to amaze me how she mishandles good foodstuffs, till I
worked out that she really has no sense of taste; to her, if a
food is expensive and/or high-prestige, and served with all the
appropriate accompaniments, it's by definition 'good', no matter
how soggy and tasteless it has been made by bad preparation.

Was she trying to bring it back to life?

Did you cook it anyway and make salmon salad out of it? (Just
like tuna salad, but with your fish instead.)

I'm now a big fan of creamy salads so unfortunately I didn't try
that, though I will consider it next time.
