How long does it take to boil frozen salmon?
To boil frozen salmon, it typically takes around 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. It’s essential to thaw the salmon before boiling as boiling frozen fish can result in uneven cooking and an overcooked exterior with an undercooked interior. If you’re short on time, you can quickly defrost the fish in cold water for around 30 minutes before boiling. When boiling, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, carefully add the salmon fillets, and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked salmon from the water and serve immediately. To check if the salmon is cooked, use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C). Overcooked salmon can become dry and tough, so it’s advisable to remove it from the heat source as soon as it’s fully cooked.
