Salmon is totally legit to steam or poach. As long as it's seasoned and you don't overcook it it'll be great

I mean you can, but that wastes the skin. Crispy salmon skin is one of the great pleasures of the world, and if you're steaming or poaching, the skin just gets soggy.

I know other people like it, but I really hate salmon skin, even when it's crispy. Straight into the trash for me no matter how it was cooked.

Crispy skin's good but you have to just like, let it sit. The fish will stick but just don't touch it otherwise the skin will rip. It'll release itself from the pan once it's ready to flip. You basically cook the fish 80% of the way skin side down, then the last 20% flesh side down.

yea, that's more or less how I do it, but in reverse so i get a good flat even sear on the non skin side. I just always removed the skin, sometimes partway through once it doesnt rip, sometimes dont bother until im done.

Try it skin side down next time and report back! I used to be a skin hater too until I started cooking salmon skin-side down.

It might not be to your taste but a lot of people like it.

Here's a simple video showing how it's done: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Av8HvjpniXk
