For The Best Home-Canned Salmon, Should You Remove The Skin?
By Matthew Wilson
Homemade canned salmon should be in everyone's pantry, but when it comes to keeping or ditching the salmon skin, there is no wrong answer, as it comes down to personal preference.
However, it's important to consider the pros and cons of keeping the salmon's skin if you're planning on keeping the fish's skin intact.
One argument for removing the salmon skin before canning is that it can be difficult to remove afterward, and some find canned salmon's skin to be soggy and extremely thin.
Some people prefer to keep the skin on the salmon for its added flavor. Some also like how canned salmon looks with the skin in the jar.
To remove the skin, slice the fish horizontally at a slightly downward angle, taking it off in one piece. A duller knife is recommended to prevent accidentally slicing through it.
