Baked Half Salmon Fish Head 

Leave a comment

This dish may look a bit scary, but it’s very delicious and easy.

First, sprinkle salt and black pepper over both sides of fish head ( I just used half of fish head). Then let it rest for around 30 mins.

Preheat oven to 160 degree C.

Bake for 15 mins. After that, turn to 200 degree C and bake for another 10 mins. If you want the fish skin to be more crunchy, you can prolong the baking time.


Serve with several lemon slices.

The best part is fish skin. It’s very crunchy. You can hear its cracking in your mouth. And the meat is very tender. My husband was deeply amazed.
