  1. CELSIUS, not Fahrenheit…Yea, but is that even good enough? No! 50 C or 122 F is not hot enough to sterilize food. Yes, technically if you maintained that temperature for a couple hours you would kill most bacteria, parasites, and eggs within the meat. However, no one is going to leave their salmon at 50c for 2 hours to accomplish this. It would be dried out and turning into some form of salmon jerky.

    You need to hit 63 Celsius or 145 Fahrenheit to sterilize the food. Otherwise you might as well just eat it raw. I guess if you prefer your raw Salmon slightly warmed you could follow this recipe, but you might as well take a handful of antibiotics and some anti parasitic medications along with your meal.

  2. Don't need thermometer for salmon. As SOON as it flakes with a fork it's DONE! And ONLY USE WILD Salmon!!! NEVER FARMED !!!
