The question "What cut is salmon cut?" is a bit ambiguous. It could be asking about different cuts of salmon, or it could be referring to something that resembles a salmon cut, like the "beef salmon cut." Let's address both possibilities.
Cuts of Salmon
When preparing salmon, there are several popular cuts:
- Fillet: This is the most common cut. It's a boneless piece of salmon taken from the side of the fish. Fillets can be skin-on or skinless.
- Steak: A salmon steak is a cross-section cut of the salmon, usually including the bone.
- Portion: This refers to a pre-cut, usually skinless and boneless, serving-size piece of salmon fillet.
- Whole Salmon: The entire fish, often used for roasting or grilling.
Beef Salmon Cut
Interestingly, there is also something called a "beef salmon cut." According to the reference material:
It comes from the rump, which always delivers delicious flavour. It gets the name beef salmon cut due to the appearance of the overall joint; resembling that of a cut of salmon.
This indicates that the "beef salmon cut" is a cut of beef from the rump that resembles the appearance of a cut of salmon.
Summary
Therefore, "salmon cut" can refer to:
- Different cuts of salmon (fillet, steak, portion, whole).
- A cut of beef from the rump that resembles a salmon fillet in appearance ("beef salmon cut").
