    How to easily remove salmon skin

    Most people will tell you that you have to remove salmon skin with a knife.  I used to think this until I discovered that it pulled off so easily with my hands!  If you have trouble getting a good grip of the skin, use a paper towel.

    Cuisine American

    Ingredients

    • 1 Cup Pork Rinds, crushed into crumbs
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon dried Parsley
    • ½ teaspoon Dried dill
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 ½ Pound Salmon Filet

    Equipment

    • Air Fryer (Here's the air fryer I like best on Amazon)

    Method

    1. In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed pork rinds and seasonings. In a operate shallow bowl, combine the egg and water and beat until frothy.
    2. Remove the skin from your salmon filet by peeling it off with a paper towel for grip. It should peel right off. Cut the salmon filet into 1 ½ inch chunks.
    3. Dip the salmon chunks into the egg wash, then dip into pork rind mixture, being sure to coat evenly, then set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with each salmon chunk until each chunk is completely coated.
    4. Place into air fryer and cook at 350F for 10 minutes. Makes 4 servings
