Frequently Asked Questions About Flame-grilled salmon
How is flame-grilled salmon cooked?
Flame-grilled salmon is cooked beside an open fire, traditionally secured to a wooden board tilted toward the flames. The fish cooks gradually from the fire’s heat and smoke rather than being placed directly in the flames.
Is flame-grilled salmon the same as smoked salmon?
No. Flame-grilled salmon is cooked by the heat of a fire, while smoked salmon is cured or cooked using smoke. Flame-grilled salmon is served hot, whereas many familiar smoked salmon products are served cold.
How can you tell when flame-grilled salmon is cooked?
Flame-grilled salmon is cooked when its flesh turns opaque and separates into flakes with gentle pressure. Check the thickest part; if it still looks translucent or raw, keep cooking and check again to avoid drying it out.
Can you eat the skin on flame-grilled salmon?
Yes, the skin on flame-grilled salmon is edible. It can be especially tasty when cooked until crisp, but you can leave it if it is soft or not to your liking. Check for scales before eating.
Where does flame-grilled salmon come from?

Leftover flame-grilled salmon keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Refrigerate it promptly, and freeze portions if you need to keep them longer.

What is Flame-grilled salmon?
Flame-grilled salmon is salmon cooked over an open flame or beside hot coals, a method associated with northern European fireside cooking. The heat browns the outside while keeping the flesh tender and moist, with a gentle smokiness from the fire.
It is usually served as a main course, alongside potatoes, vegetables or a fresh salad; lemon and herbs bring out its rich flavour. In Turkey, it also works well with greens, grilled vegetables and bread for a simple, satisfying meal. Salmon is naturally protein-rich and supplies omega-3 fats; each 100 g provides 22.1 g of protein. For a lighter plate, pair it with plenty of vegetables and go easy on added oil.
