Salmon collars!

[Ashley12]

I just picked up some beautiful salmon collars from the fish market. I am planning on cooking them tomorrow. Does anyone have any unique suggestions on how to cook them? I would prefer to cook them on the stove top or in the oven. I have had them in Japanese restaurants and LOVED them - looking to recreate something similar.

Mix some Miso paste with a bit of sugar, sake, and mirin (you can sub a bit of white wine and vinegar). Marinate in that and broil or grill. If you ever get the chance, Hamachi collar (yellowtail) is amazing too.

Great! I will have to give that a try. I have an amazing Japanese fish market near my house so I'm sure I'll find some Hamachi collars sometime soon :)

Yay! I'm going to try it too. Did you see the idea about brining and smoking in the comments? I might try that too.
