Enzymes are heat activated at levels between 140 f and 175 f and deactivated at the boiling point so it serves no purpose other than flavoring to let the meat sit in a marinade at room temperature.
Marinate salmon at room temperature.
Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge.
Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 20 minutes and ideally 2 10 hours you can just cover it and place it in the refrigerator and allow it to marinate while you re at work when ready to prepare preheat the oven to 450ºf.
Remove salmon from marinade letting excess drip off and discard marinade.
Do not follow this practice.
The technique is simple.
Marinating at room temperature causes meat to enter the danger zone between 40 degrees f.
Place the salmon filets at least an inch apart from each other.
Brush grill rack with oil.
Let meat come to room temperature before cooking.
Add salmon turning to coat and marinate covered at cool room temperature 30 minutes.
While salmon is marinating place a heavy metal baking dish or pan in the oven and heat to 500 f.
At room temperature for 15 minutes.
Add salmon turn to cover with.
Marinade and continue grilling 6 to 8 more minutes.
I also wanted flavor and ease with a method.
First i knew that i wanted that meltingly soft salmon but an evenly cooked perfectly flaky fillet wasn t enough.
When it came to rating each method i was looking for a few things.
You season the salmon with salt pepper and red pepper flakes and then you roast it in the oven at 300 degrees for a little under half an hour.
And 140 degrees f where bacteria multiply rapidly.
Line a baking sheet with foil.
Consider pan searing your salmon to a temperature of 125 140ºf 52 60ºc on each side.
If you recipe calls for marinating at room temperature just increase the marinating time and marinate in the refrigerator.
Refrigeration is recommended to avoid the growth of harmful bacteria.
If you do not have a thermometer avoid overcooking by cooking only skin side down briefly cooking the flesh side for only 15 30 seconds once the salmon is opaque but still mostly juicy.
