Experts are divided on whether to rinse salmon before cooking it. Some believe washing salmon can remove sand, dirt, and bacteria, while others, like the USDA and FDA, advise against it due to the risk of spreading bacteria. Cleaning salmon with water may alter its taste and texture, and using soap or detergent can make it unsafe to eat. If choosing to rinse salmon, do so gently with clean water or lemon juice and avoid using soap, then pat dry and sanitize surfaces afterward.
