1. [Here’s one method from Catalina OP](https://youtu.be/qPSqTqkHhGg)

   For slicing a salmon fillet.

2. This was not sushi grade salmon?

3. You only froze it for a few days? In the future I would recommend a a full week.

4. Looks good.

   If you want to up your game, sushi places will typically do a quick salt or sugar cure to remove some water content to give the salmon a firmer, more palatable texture.

5. I bet it has been asked millions of times, but if you buy farm raised atlantic salmon from Norway from Sam’s club, and it doesn’t specifically say Frozen, do you have to freeze it before curing?

6. If it’s not been flash frozen in an industrial grade freezer you’re running quite the food poisoning risk. Not sure if Costco salmon is previously frozen or not.

7. Nice first try. Check out some YouTube tutorials before your 2nd try.

8. Marinate it next time my boy or girl or other with soy sauce ponzu sauce some sesame oil in a dish TRUST ME before you cut it

9. This is a little cursed but great job

10. Be sure it’s sushi grade if eating raw but yeah looks quality. What brand is that?

11. So just so everyone is clear. This was not solicited as “sushi grade”. This is farmed salmon from Norway. I froze it for a few days but no, technically temp was not low enough or long enough to be FDA safe. Medically i do not recommend doing this. If you are on a budget I won’t say not to do this. I am thankful for the comments showing videos how to properly slice the fish. Enjoy!

12. Salmon fillet, meet my knife. Let’s make some magic happen.

13. Yummy!!

14. does anyone know, is it best to pick farmed salmon with thick white banding?

15. Salmon never stood a chance against your skills!

16. To answer several of the comments at once… Wild salmon is very prone to parasites due to the salmon eating fish with parasites. Farm raised is fed exclusively on pellets and is parasite free and therefore is considered safe even without freezing.

    Granted, there is always a slight risk eating anything undercooked, but farm raised fish is considered safe to consume raw.

17. I didn’t know Costco sold sashimi grade salmon!!!!

18. Costco Gang!
