Smoked salmon to be broiled should be put upon the gridiron first, with the flesh side to the fire
Modern guidance to help you succeed with this vintage recipe
Placing the flesh side toward the heat first allows the proteins to set gradually while the skin acts as a protective barrier, preventing moisture loss. The direct heat caramelizes surface proteins through the Maillard reaction, creating complex flavors while the fat renders slowly. Starting flesh-side down ensures even cooking and prevents the delicate fish from sticking to the grates.
If purchasing whole smoked salmon, it can be stored in its original packaging in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks before broiling. Once broiled, the salmon should be consumed immediately for best texture and flavor.
Store uncooked smoked salmon tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months. Once broiled, consume immediately. Leftover broiled smoked salmon can be refrigerated for 1-2 days and enjoyed cold or at room temperature, though the texture will soften considerably.
