Drain & Cool Salmon for Salmon Burger Recipe

Video Transcript

"DAVID POSTADA: Hi. This is Dave for Expert Village. Today, we're going to make one of my all-time favorite comfort foods, salmon cakes. Okay, now we've poached our salmon in our broth or liquid for about four minutes or so. And you can, you can just see the different color change right here. Okay so what I've done is I prepared, we have plate here with the paper towels, 'cause we want to drain this pretty good before we flake it. We want it to cool down anyway before we put it in the bowl. So just go ahead and go right in to your pan. And see, it's already starting to fall apart just a little bit. That's exactly what you're looking for. So you go ahead and just put it right on your paper towel. We'll leave the lemons behind in the poaching broth. Go ahead and drain that as well as you can before you put it on here. It'll make it much easier for you once you put it in your paper towel. A nice big, fresh salmon. I think you're going to love this a lot more than what you get out of the can. So just go ahead and put it on there. We'll let that drain. Let's set, set this aside. And we'll let this cool off a little bit, then we'll be ready to go and put together our salmon cakes."
