Once you remove the salmon from the heat the internal temperature continues to rise resulting in well overcooked fish. Here at the RecipeLand. Have you ever noticed that white, sometimes foamy, substance coagulates on the surface of your salmon?
It's called albumin. Albumin is a protein that is pushed out of the muscle fibers of the fish as it cooks. It can collect on the edges and surface of the salmon. Overcooked salmon, especially when poached and canned salmon are particularly prone to this effect. However, even perfectly cooked salmon can form some of albumin on the surface. The best way to avoid the white stuff is to cook your salmon to the perfect internal temperature.

When cooking this fish, you want to make sure that you have your pan at the perfect temperature. Too cool and the cooking process will result in an undesirable texture. Make sure you heat up your pan or oven to the desired temp before beginning the cooking process, as per your recipe.
Use tweezers to gently pluck these from your fillets. The result is a rubbery, dry, unpalatable mess. In the case of salmon, you should only apply salt just before you begin cooing your fillets, and not a minute too soon!
Make sure that your pan is heated through and up to temperature, then add salt to your fish right before cooking. Removing the skin makes the fish cook too quickly and in the end, your fillets will be dry. Another related mistake is putting the fish skin-side up on your cooking surface. Doing so will bring the same result as taking the skin off of your fillets. Ideally, your salmon fillets should be a pretty uniform thickness so the meat cooks evenly.
The answer is yes! Chefs recommend eating salmon medium or medium rare because it has the best flavor and texture. While the salmon is still cooking, take note of how its color changes from a dark pink to a lighter color. Cooked salmon color inside will be an opaque pinkish white color on the outside and translucent pink on the inside. If your fillet is still dark pink on the outside, it needs to cook more. Cook times depend on two things: the thickness of the salmon, and how you like it prepared medium-rare, medium, or well-done.
At this temperature, you're more likely to see albumin, a white substance that appears when a piece of salmon is cooked, and the muscles contract. Albumin typically oozes out of the fish when it has been overcooked. It's safe to eat but it doesn't look appetizing, so you want to avoid overcooking the fish. The fish will continue cooking a bit after it comes off of the heat but remain tender and moist inside.
Before serving top with some fresh parsley. If it bothers you, you can scrape it off the salmon as it appears or at the end. Transfer leftover salmon fillets to an airtight glass container and keep in the refrigerator for days. Or, portion them out into meal prep containers to have for lunches throughout the week.
