Can you make sashimi from frozen salmon and how?

Question

I buy frozen salmon in individual filets and usually bake it. Was interested in different recipes.

Answer 1

You can only make sashimi or other 'uncooked' preparation of fish & seafood if it is sushi- or sashimi-grade fish.
The handling of the fish and the actual meat is a better quality and less likely to make you sick from no-heat preparations.
That said, assuming you have sushi-quality fish, you would first defrost it. There are 2 safe ways to do this.
1. in the refridgerator for about 4 hours or until defrosted.
2. run the tightly-saran-wrapped fish under cold water for about 2 hours or until defrosted.
You have defrosted sushi-quality fish. Now what?
Sashimi means "without rice" so the preparation is simple.
with the filet on the cutting board, slice the fish against the grain (the white lines of fat and connective tissue) on a 45 degree angle. You want thin slices no more than 1/4" thick.
Maki rolls, however are a bit more tricky but lots of fun to make and eat. and you don't really need a rolling mat. any flat rollable surface will do, just cover it in saran wrap.
First prepare the sushi-rice according to package instructions. This should involve rice-wine.
Second, be sure you have nori seaweed maki wrappers available. They're fragile so be careful with them.
Place the nori on your home-made saran-mummified rolling mat. press a 1/2 in layer of cooked sushi-rice onto almost the whole piece of nori.
lay your middle ingredients, including your sushi fish, in a 1 in strip from your left to your right hand.
roll the mat up so the nori touches nori and the mat does not get caught inbetween. continue to do this until the whole roll is rolled.
press together to seal.
eat!
Third, think about what pairs well with salmon and what you like to eat. Cucumbers and avocados with crab? Spicy hot sauce and crunchy bits of fried wonton wrappers? Go wild, it's fun.

good luck and remember to only defrost what you plan on using, keep frozen the rest.
Don't abuse your fish! if you don't use it, freeze it, cook that portion next time.
Keep it cold! at or below 32 degrees farenheit. Leaving food out at room temp gives food illness bacteria room to grow!

Yes you can (an no you won't get food poisoning from it). You need a salmon steak that's at least 3" thick. Let it partially thaw in the refrigerator so it's not rock hard, but is still partially frozen. Slice it on the bias with a very large chef's knife until it's barely more than paper thin. It will defrost the rest of the way on its own.

Actually, the FDA requires all fish in the US that is intended for raw consumption to be frozen for seven days at negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit, or flash frozen for 15 hours at negative 31 degrees. This is done in order to kill the majority of parasites, namely nematodes.

That being said, the filets you buy which are intended for cooking may not have gone through this freeze treatment. Yes it is frozen, but you don't know if it's at low enough temps or in a sterile enough environment. I would advise against eating raw fish that is not specifically sold for raw consumption because there is no regulation on its safety when not eat as a cooked meal.

Answer 6

I wouldnt. Buy fresh salmon for sashimi, the frozen wont tase as good.

Answer 7

My mom is Japanese and when she makes sashimis, she usually defrosts the salmon first.

You should only eat the freshest of salmon in that way. The restaurants may get their salmon there but they will have an agreement to get the very freshest stuff, whereas you may have fish that has been on display for a day or two. Furthermore defrosting it may also mean it has been sitting about for longer too. It is probably perfectly fine, but it may not taste as nice as really fresh fish will.

Answer 9

Yes you can, but don't. You must buy a higher quality Salmon to eat it raw. Food poisoning sucks!

Answer 10

Yes, you dethaw the salmon. DO NOT bake it if you want to make sashimi!
