How does the salmon attract its prey?
Sockeye salmon have very short lives. They have many different behaviors that help them survive, such as going around in schools, where they trade places so they can all eat and avoid predators, taking turns at the safer places and the places with the most food. They also take the schools to different places depending on the time of day to avoid predators and to find the best food. They can live up to 3 years in freshwater before they migrate to the ocean. Then they spend 1-4 years there, and come back to freshwater to spawn. After spawning, they die.
Salmon spawn in a shallow place such as rocks and gravel. The female builds a nest and she lays her eggs there. Male comes along and fertilizes them.usually in smaller rivers and streams further up the river from the tidal lower parts,from where the salmon begin to loose their leice that they bring in from the sea on their skin.they make their way back to the exact place of their birth,where the males fertilizes the females eggs.
How long do you cook salmon for?
Once you are ready with all necessary items in place, you start by preheating the grill between medium-high. Next, you need to spread some oil on the rack, grilling basket, or aluminum foil. Grill your fillets until the fish turns opaque. Remember that you will only turn the fish once during the entire grilling process. Now you need to know how long to grill both sides of the salmon. Normally it shouldd take about 8-10 minutes to grill both sides. Ensure that the fire won't touch the salmon when the grilling process takes place.
Hope this helps.
If you are asking the oven temp i would say at 350 F is fine. If you have a meat thermometer, i cook salmon to around 160 F so it is still very moist and not overcooked.
Wow....this isn't chicken. If you want your salmon to taste like a well worn tire, then go to 160, otherwise don't let it go past the 145 recommended by most salmon purveyors, and I've seen some recipes from reputable sources go as low as 131 with appropriate rest time afterward. Personally I shoot for 135-140 with 5m rest after cooking.
It is also dependent on the size of the piece. With a small piece, say the less than the size of a lime, for a salmon kebab I've found 140 with just a few minuets rest quite sufficient. I've also had much success with tenting the salmon during the rest period. Simply use a sheet of foil and create a "tent" over the salmon.
I cook fillets at 275F in the oven or on the grill skin side down until internal temp is 135-140. Just when the fat starts oozing out of the top of the salmon. Doesn't get much better than that.
Which is better farmed or wild salmon?
WILD WILD WILD! Wild salmon is a sustainable resource. Out of every red (or nest) two babies survive. That means for every two parents two baby's survive keeping the run the same. Wild salmon is one of the healthiest things you can eat being completely natural. Farmed salmon is given pesticides. Farmed salmon is the modern "chicken" of the sea with growth hormones, pesticide's, and eating there own feces. TRUST ME IM A COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN!
Judge the time by the thickest part of the fillet. Most are about 1/2 inch at that part, fry that size in a small amount of olive oil and butter or plain vegetable oil for 5 minutes on one side, flip and continue to cook another 3 to 4 minutes. If the fillet is closer to 1 inch thick then cook for 8 minutes on side one and 5 to 6 minutes on side 2.
Well it depends on how you cook it, if its raw its personally tastless but good and when cooked its wet almost and flaky almost like tuna :) ......thats what I think.
What are the instructions on how to bake a salmon?
Cut your salmon into 4 large chunks, season the salmon with salt and pepper. Put your salmon skin down on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake your salmon in the oven for 20 minutes and check if it's still raw. Afterwards before your serve it squeeze some lemon over it to add a zesty flavour.
Of course you can cook frozen salmon. How else should you preserve it? And then cook it? Just thaw it and then put in the oven on 375 and cook till golden red color. Also temp to be sure. Should be above 185
Although salmon are born in freshwater rivers they spend their lives at sea.
After spawning they spend a couple of years making their way down river to the sea.
They then adapt to sea water and spend up to two years at sea before swimming back to the actual river they were spawned in.
There they lay their eggs and die within two weeks, enriching the river with food for their young to repeat the cycle all over again.

What type of wine do you serve with Alaskan salmon?
I would choose different types of white depending on the type of Wild Alaskan Salmon being served. Wild Alaskan Sockeye has a robust flavor and a Fume Blanc or even a light Chardonnay would compliment the fish nicely.
I would serve white zinfandel.
Nystatin is for a yeast infection (NOT sexually transmitted) but this does not usually cause little bumps. I suggest you go back to the doctor.
Is pink salmon asexual or sexual?
Salmon are sexual. Asexual reproduction is very uncommon outside of single-celled organisms.
