Salmon Brine
Brining salmon ensures a tender, moist fish after cooking. Wet brined salmon will also not ooze out any white stuff, ensuring a beautiful presentation.

Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets
- kosher salt
- water
Instructions
- Place salmon in a shallow dish or pan. Cover with water, adding ½ to 1 tablespoon of kosher salt for every cup of water. Place in refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, but no more than 30. If you leave it longer, use less salt.
- Remove salmon from the brine. Rinse and pat dry. Place salmon on rimmed baking sheet. Prepare salmon according to your recipe directions.
Notes
- You can leave the brine overnight but most people report a very salty flavor so I max at out 30 minutes. If you leave it longer, rinse it well before using.
