I am debating with my brother whether this salmon is fully cooked or not. He thinks it is but I definitely don’t think so. Is it?

Looks good to me! I think a lot of people are used to eating overcooked fish though. If you like yours more done it’s not a big deal.

Overcooked

Ita perfect. Salmon isn’t supposed to be cooked “well-done”
Dragondicky
That looks bang on. Just saying.

I usually take mine out at medium rare and let it rest until it hits a true medium to medium well. Basically whatever you call what yours looks like.
My parents think it’s raw. Everyone else in the world thinks it’s cooked perfectly for salmon.
SuperDave2018
That’s more done than I typically cook mine. You shouldn’t cook it “well-done.”

Salmon has cooking temperature same as steak. This would be a medium I’d say.
Side note..I’ve finally stopped over cooking my salmon after a year or more lol. Slow learner lol
Slippery-Mitzfah
Nothing worse than overcooked, “tacky” salmon. It should be medium at most, this looks great.

Its looks spot on

Absolutely fully cooked, overcooked in fact
lcdroundsystem
It’s fully cooked. Probably overdone.
ConcaveNips
If you put your fork into the thickest part of the meat, twist, and it easily flakes apart, it’s fully cooked.

If you’re eating well done salmon you’re doing it wrong

Salmon is best done med rare to medium

I think it’s “medium” salmon. Personally, I prefer a more medium rare but it’s still a nice piece of fish.
My mom likes hers well done (even though she likes her steak medium rare, and heaven forbid if I try to make her an ahi tuna steak) and it drives me batty.

It’s cooked.

Looks it to me….if it flakes it’s done.

I had to have an awakening with salmon.
For the longest time I fucking hated it. I knew it was good for you so I wanted to eat it a couple times a week, but I also knew it was full of worms and shit and so I cooked it to a proper 145 F every time. It was always dried out and I suffered through every bite.
Then one day my brother cooked a salmon filet for me. Fried it up on the stove and basted it with butter. It came out looking a lot like yours in the middle, perhaps even less cooked. I asked him if he was sure this was done and he told me that this is really how you’re supposed to eat salmon, and that I had been doing it wrong all my life.
I took one bite and it sent me to an amazing place of mouth pleasure. It was a totally different meal than I was used to.
So yeah, this is done, and dont ever over cook your salmon. Also, buy wild caught.

It’s flaking off, it’s done..
danknadoflex
It is fully cooked
Affectionate_Egg897
Absolutely perfect. Could have been removed from the heat a minute sooner and been great too. If you’re looking for consistent color you may prefer well done fish but this picture here is a perfectly cooked salmon
O-coast101
Yes. It is definitely fully cooked.

Cooked

That looks excellent to me.. That sear is great..

Looks fine. Actually, I prefer salmon, when cooked, to have a slight pink interior.

I’d rather it be raw than eat salmon flavored cardboard.

looks cooked
Corksea7
I don’t think so, but it’s probably delicious like that. It looks great!
Former-Surprise-1377
I would say it’s not ‘fully’ cooked (because it’s clearly slightly rare in the center) but it *is* PERFECTLY cooked. Maybe even 45 seconds too long…
Tootboopsthesnoot
“Fully cooked” or “properly cooked” is subjective. “Safely prepared” is not.
It’s cooked enough to be safe to eat. I would’ve even pulled mine a little bit earlier

Man that looks delicious.

over cooked, looks leathery.

That looks overcooked for my taste

It looks a little overdone if anything
Honest-Ad1675
if by fully cooked you mean well done, then no. Ready to eat? Yes.
The_Sneakiest_Fox
At any decent restaurant I’ve worked at the chef would call this slightly overcooked.
lonedroan
Well, not fully cooked, because it’s some version of medium to medium well. I think the disconnect you’re having is that it’s generally okay and sometimes preferred to not cook salmon to well done. But it sounds like you might prefer, or are at least used to, well-done salmon.
