How to Boil Fish
Ingredients
Directions
If using a whole salmon, fix the tail in the mouth with a skewer.
Place the salmon in a turbot kettle with cold water and add salt.
Boil gradually until cooked through.
If using portions, place them in hot water for 1 minute, then lift out and let rest for 2 minutes. Repeat this 3-4 times.
Continue boiling until the fish is done.
