Mmmm. Is there anything better than crispy salmon skin?!

Nope.

The answer is no. Unless it’s fried bacon skin. I’ve been on an animal skin kick lately. Not sure what brought that on, but I will enjoy some grilled fish skin and chicharrones until the hankering departs.

Here’s a little meal sure to impress anyone and it takes only 20 minutes to make. What could be better? DUH, crispy salmon skin! Which is why this meal is awesome. You get a delicious and nutritious fish dish, and then you get to eat the skin.

It’s a win-win situation.

Especially if your dinner partner doesn’t like the skin… then you get double. That’s a win-win-WIN in my book.
