*Mise en place will differ amongst territories SUSHI Filleting Salmon Standards To manage our waste on a whole Salmon, we need to be able to use every gram of this delicious pink meat. Follow these steps and your wastage percentage can be as little as 25%: Once the fish is filleted and trimmed into two large fillets you can start planning which parts will be used for what. Pepi says โ€œlike a skilled butcher, you can see which part of the fillet should be used for what kind of sushiโ€ How to portion and store the salmon โ€ข The meat along the back of the Salmon is ideal for Sashimi cuts and seared salads. โ€ข The meat along the stomach is used for Nigiri, Gunkans and roses. โ€ข The tail piece is to be used for Maki rolls. โ€ข The fatty part right at the bottom has the most flavor and in Japan is often reserved for regular and or important customers.
