So all (that I’ve bought from) supermarkets sell their salmon fillets with scales on. Do you descale it before pan frying?
Sainsbury’s; morrisons; tesco are the supermarkets I’ve bought salmon fillets from mainly
Edit: Please stop assuming I’m a dumbass who doesn’t know what scales look like. We have established that YES, SCALES ARE PRESENT, I AM NOT MISTAKING SKIN FOR SCALES BECAUSE I HAVE EYES. They are on the fillets, and if you haven’t noticed them, then feel free to not participate in this post.
I’ve never taken them off, grill / pan fry skin side down, flip, remove skin and discard. Flip back over to finish with butter and rosemary. Down the hatch
A crispy skin is too good to throw away!
