  How to prepare salmon to reduce fishy smell:

  For fresh salmon fillets, you can prepare them directly:

  • Use coarse salt and vinegar or coarse salt and lemon juice to rub the surface of the meat to remove the sliminess and reduce the fishy smell.
  • Then you can rinse the fish with a little white wine.
  • Soaking the fish in fresh milk for 5 minutes also completely removes the fishy smell effectively.

  For frozen salmon: You need to thaw it first using one of the following methods and prepare it according to the steps above.

  • Thaw in the refrigerator: You need to move the salmon from the freezer to the fridge refrigerator 24 hours before cooking. Once the fish has thawed, you need to cook it immediately.
  • Soak in water to thaw: Wrap the fish tightly in a plastic bag or in a food container and place it in a large bowl, filling it with water to cover the bag or container. Change the cold water every 30 minutes until the fish is completely thawed.
  • Thaw using a microwave: Place the fish in the microwave and select the defrost setting for about 3 – 4 minutes. At about halfway through the thawing time, turn the microwave off and then back on again. After the microwave indicates the thawing time is done, let the plate of fish sit outside for another 5 minutes to fully thaw. This way, you can prepare the fish immediately after thawing.
