That’s right. The white gunk that gets squeezed out of the
layers of salmon flesh, oozy and unattractive like a popped
pimple (what’s up with the blemish similes today?). It’s not
just that it’s something you don’t want to eat, it’s also a
pretty surefire indication that the salmon has been
overcooked beyond repair.
Luckily, the first two problems can be solved relatively
easily.
