Saw this on reddit/r/cooking thought it was definitely an awesome way for cooking salmon. Anyone else have experience using this method for other kinds of meats?

Yes, i do. I am a finn and this is the most traditional way to cook salmon. But salmon season is so short.

How do you prepare the fish before you cook the salmon this way? Filet and peg it up without adding anything or do you rub with salt and/or other things? Curious - looks like an interesting and tasty process. – jesuisjuba - paleorepublic.com Jul 26 2011 at 18:25

I just use good salt (maldon) and pepper. I have no desire for any extra spices. I just love salmon so much. I eat tons of fish, usually baltic herring or smelt. Panfried or pickled. – Jan Jul 26 2011 at 19:09

I leave the salmon uncovered in the fridge for 4-8 hours, so that it will from a sort of "pellicle" on the meat. This coating will be more sticky for smoke particles. Also i salt way ahead. Like 2 hours. – Jan Jul 28 2011 at 14:16

goat meat is often cooked on something similar but more open on both sides.

We have cooked meat coated in a salt/egg white crust wrapped in a old clean cloth, tied. You can also bury it in the coals or cook right in the fireplace.

In Mexico they use large upright skewers to cook pork, chicken, and lamb over a bed of coals. The pit is about 3- 4 feet wide with two rows of skewers and the results are delicious. Once the meat is cooked and cut up they squeeze some bitter orange over it before eating.

Anyone cook their fish this way? [Loimulohi]
