Marinade and continue grilling 6 to 8 more minutes.
Marinate salmon at room temperature.
Enzymes are heat activated at levels between 140 f and 175 f and deactivated at the boiling point so it serves no purpose other than flavoring to let the meat sit in a marinade at room temperature.
Let meat come to room temperature before cooking.
Place the salmon fillets in a 9x9 dish with sides and pour the prepared marinade over the salmon.
I also wanted flavor and ease with a method.
Add salmon turn to cover with.
Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge.
The technique is simple.
You season the salmon with salt pepper and red pepper flakes and then you roast it in the oven at 300 degrees for a little under half an hour.
First i knew that i wanted that meltingly soft salmon but an evenly cooked perfectly flaky fillet wasn t enough.
All tests were conducted using 6 ounce fillets of copper river wild sockeye salmon patted dry plus extra virgin olive oil kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
If you do not have a thermometer avoid overcooking by cooking only skin side down briefly cooking the flesh side for only 15 30 seconds once the salmon is opaque but still mostly juicy.
Brush grill rack with oil.
When it came to rating each method i was looking for a few things.
Place the salmon filets at least an inch apart from each other.
Flake easily serves 2.
While salmon is marinating place a heavy metal baking dish or pan in the oven and heat to 500 f.
Remove salmon from marinade letting excess drip off and discard marinade.
If you recipe calls for marinating at room temperature just increase the marinating time and marinate in the refrigerator.
Marinating at room temperature causes meat to enter the danger zone between 40 degrees f.
Add salmon turning to coat and marinate covered at cool room temperature 30 minutes.
And 140 degrees f where bacteria multiply rapidly.
Refrigeration is recommended to avoid the growth of harmful bacteria.
Consider pan searing your salmon to a temperature of 125 140ºf 52 60ºc on each side.
Do not follow this practice.
