We had a few people over for dinner last night and since my local market had some slammin' deals on whole Sockeye, I decided to pick up one of these bad boys. I have never cooked a whole salmon before so this will be an adventure for both of us. Let's begin:
Take your fishy and wash it inside and out. After you drop it in the sink like a total fucking retard, wash it again, and pat it dry. If you are lucky enough to still have the head attached, DO NOT remove it. The head can be utilized for many purposes post-cooking, and the eyeballs are a delicacy. Place it on a large baking sheet that is double lined with tin foil.
Whip up 3tbl melted butter with the juice from one lemon. Brush the fishy inside and out and while you are at it butter the tin foil too. Also pat the insides down with salt and pepper.
Bake that bitch in the oven at 250 deg for 2.25-2.5 hours. I did 2.5 hours and it was just a hair on the dry side for me but I like salmon that is close to raw. When it cools, remove the skin and feed to dog. All that gray shit comes off real easy too but I was lazy and didn't give a rat's ass.
Remove the backbone slowly so that all attached bones come out with it. The bone comes out super easy as long as you do this after cooking. Don't be fucking stupid and try to take it out before you put it in the oven, dumbass. Serve with a dill creme fraiche, or
BBQ sauce, or whatever the fuck you want. Eat it.

That looks fucking disgusting.
I'm sticking with 'The Bachelor' - if for no other reason than wishful thinking.
Rube.
The salmon looks sooo good. I could eat fresh or smoked salmon every day and die happy.
I can't believe you eat fish eyes but think sweet potatoes are the Devil.
I also like to suck the brains out of crawfish...
Next time just cook it for 30 minutes at 350 then it won't be dry...perfect
Yeah...but I am always reluctant to turn the heat up that high. I would rather keep the heat down and drop the time.
Excuse me? How big was your fishy in this instance?
This post is over two years old. I don't remember.
