Marinade and continue grilling 6 to 8 more minutes.
Marinate salmon at room temperature.
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.
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.
When it came to rating each method i was looking for a few things.
First i knew that i wanted that meltingly soft salmon but an evenly cooked perfectly flaky fillet wasn t enough.
Consider pan searing your salmon to a temperature of 125 140ºf 52 60ºc on each side.
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.
And 140 degrees f where bacteria multiply rapidly.
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.
Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 20 minutes and ideally 2 10 hours you can just cover it and place it in the refrigerator and allow it to marinate while you re at work when ready to prepare preheat the oven to 450ºf.
Add salmon turning to coat and marinate covered at cool room temperature 30 minutes.
Remove salmon from marinade letting excess drip off and discard marinade.
I also wanted flavor and ease with a method.
Line a baking sheet with foil.
While salmon is marinating place a heavy metal baking dish or pan in the oven and heat to 500 f.
Refrigeration is recommended to avoid the growth of harmful bacteria.
Do not follow this practice.
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.
Add salmon turn to cover with.
Place the salmon filets at least an inch apart from each other.
Marinating at room temperature causes meat to enter the danger zone between 40 degrees f.
The technique is simple.
Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge.
Brush grill rack with oil.
