Look at this beautiful specimen. This ain't no fucking Atlantic farm raised color added bullshit. Brush that bitch with some melted butter and give it a little sprinkle of salt and pepper. Holy fuck I could just eat that shit raw.
Put it in the oven for about 16 minutes at 400 deg. The key to cooking salmon is to wait until the white crap reaches the surface. I am pretty sure it is the fat but don't quote me on that. When it gets all white and shit pull it and set the pan on a rack so the salmon does not cook too much after leaving the oven. Also, while the salmon is in the oven, throw in some asparagus (brushed with butter and sprinkled with salt and pepper) for about 6 min. Wait until it cools and then dice it up.
Melt 1.5tbl butter and throw in a couple ounces of finely grated cave aged emmental (basically a fancy pants swiss cheese). Once it is all melty add your king crab (I used the meat from one large claw) and asparagus. Bacon would not be a bad addition here. Top your salmon. "Well that looks pretty good but I doubt you cooked that salmon right."
Fucking eat it.

dude that looks pretty good, but what's with all the butter action? why not brush that shit with some olive oil? also use olive oil for your roasted asparagus. just saying.
Nah - stick with the butter. Better flavor, and the saturated fats are much, much better for you, especially when cooking about about 300* (at which point olive oil will oxidize).
I don't have to explain myself to you Mr. I Hate Your Plates, but I will anyway. First thought, mix crab with butter. Second thought, oh shit I better use butter for everything to keep it consistent.
bird's an idiot. Shut up bird.
Asshole you light up my MFing morning. Which is hard to do.
Not bad for an asshole!
About the white stuff. Chicken does white stuff. Pork does white stuff. Salmon does white stuff. Beef does gray stuff. I don't think it's fat. Fat's clear. I'm thinking it's cooked blood.
CA, your posts are getting meaner and more asshole-ish than ever. I love it!
A week ago, our local fish shop, told us they were getting wild Alaskan Salmon delievered anytime soon (we live in Spain) and asked us if we wanted some to be put aside for us. And because we eat a lot of fish, we said of course. Hubby had 2 salmons reserved at €28each. And boy was it worth it. It was so beautiful, I simply just had it pan-fried until the skin was crispy. On the side, I made butter and garlic to pour over it. I thought it was too beautiful to do anything else to it.
i'm not an idiot!! and i'm a Ms., not Mr.! anyway - your plates still suck. :)
this is what I found out about that white shit:
"That's the serum albumen, part of the the blood, that's still present in the flesh of a critter after it's cleaned. It will set up and congeal just like the albumen in egg whites."
Damn that shit looks good! And yeah I'd go with the bacon too.
Good sleuthing Bird. I thought Get the Shovel's comment was total bullshit but I guess not.
Salmon is as plentiful as craft beer out there in the PNW. Glad you could get some in Spain!
Next time I will add the bacon...
"not worthy"; how bout dip that fucker in something and fry it. i might be a redneck but that looks like bait.
granted, that's coming from somebody from mississippi so take it that way...
I pity you.
We made this Friday night because it looked easy and we were lazy, and it was YUMMY. We made it bacon-free this time, may add the bacon next time. We also watched Kick-Ass, which I highly recommend. All in all, a successful low-key end to the work week.
Awesome! Glad you liked it. I sure did.
The white stuff is just coagulated protein.
That's what she said!!!!
I don't like any white shit on my food...i always pull that gross embryo out of my raw egg before I cook it. Just a hint for you clueless c-suckers. And I don't eat much salmon b/c it has that gross slimey gray shit on it.
Some asshole for destroying that fucking nice ass salmon with all that shitty cheese!!!!
My buddy caught a large Chinook the other day and bled it out immediately. That white shit didn't show up when he cooked it.
Let me guess, you live on the east coast...
Emmental is not shitty cheese, stupid!
Kinda surprized at your pretentiousness, cooking a-hole, with the stupid cheese. Whats wrong with a smoked moz or perhaps a guyerere. Emmental, you're mental...dumbass
That sounds really good! What a mouthwatering combination. Nice combo.
Cheers,
Rosa
I didn't say there was anything wrong with other cheeses, dumbass. I said emmental was not shitty. Grow a brain.
It was really good! Thank you!
