    Which is your favorite way to prepare salmon?

      I use a homemade Asian marinade with sugar, salt, garlic, black pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce and oyster sauce and let it marinate, with the skin intact, for at least an hour but preferably overnight. I then hot smoke it at 150º until it's almost cooked. After that, I refrigerate it until I need it. Depending on how I want to eat it, then I'll prepare it differently. Since I like salmon jerky, I then cut the salmon into little 1" strips and quickly deep fry them and they tastes amazing. Since I love the fatty skin, they crisp up nicely when deep frying and I tend to pull those off and eat them separately from the salmon meat.

      I belive they boil the salmon in ashtray broth whit a blend of special antibiotic resistant bacteria.
      Before they ship it five times around the world to ensure maximum damage too the environment.
      Before the salmon takes one last trip to china to be dried and injected whit concentrated cancer and sewage.
      Before its shipped all around the worls again and fed to humans under lable " healthy superfood".

    You really need to research nitrites more thoroughly. They are a natural food ingredient. For example, a lot of spinach & celery has a higher concentration of nitrites than the average cured meat. There is an issue with nitrates, which are in the cures of very long cured meats, such as dried sausages and salamis. And, nitrate cures are not used for meats that will be cooked at high temperatures, like bacon, because nitrates can become nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic.
    But, you need to know the genesis of cures. Both natural and added nitrites turn into harmless nitric oxide gas (harmless) over time. In fact, the reason for nitrates in long cures is to ensure the presence of the cure for long enough: The nitrates turn into nitrites, replacing the nitrites that have turned into gas.
    The point is that, over time, the nitrates & the nitrates will disappear, leaving less residue than in natural foods. The point being, do you want to risk food poisoning by shunning cures, or risk dying from botulism by shunning something that has probably near;y vanished by the time you consume it???, .
