It varies between fish whether or not you want to keep the skin on while cooking. Some just turn to rubber if you try to sear them. Salmon skin comes out a bit like crispy chicken skin. It adds some nice texture and meaty flavor. But everyone’s got their own preferences.

Here in Korea (and I think China too) you can buy seasoned deep fried fish skin in big bags which people use as a snack similar to how people eat potato chips in the west. Sometimes it's also used in cooking to get in some texture and umami.

I was wondering the same... Like why is the skin on top. Then I re-read the title...

I die inside when I see people peel off perfectly good fish skin lol. Like dude don’t waste, give that deliciousness to me

As long as it's crispy, it's good!

That sounds excellent! This was just a quick weeknight ad-lib. I’ve been traveling a lot lately and was craving something fresh. If I had a bit more time I might have swapped out the green onion for some pickled shallot to give it more color variety.
