Effective methods to remove the fishy smell from salmon
- Using ginger: crush or finely grind fresh ginger, mix it well with a little white wine, then rub the salmon evenly and marinate for about 5 – 10 minutes before rinsing with water. This way, the fishy smell of the salmon will be completely eliminated.
- Using lemon: use fresh lemon to extract the juice, mix the freshly squeezed lemon juice with filtered water and add a little salt. Soak the salmon, turning it over and rinsing with water afterwards.
- Using fresh milk: pour fresh milk into a large bowl, add the salmon, ensuring the milk covers the fish. Soak for about 3 – 5 minutes, then rinse clean; the fish will no longer have a fishy smell.
