Just a few years ago salmon rarely appeared on our dinner table but nowadays I have been buying salmon steaks frequently. They are often simply seasoned with sea salt, pan fried in a little olive oil, and served with lemon juice and more sea salt. Recently I bought some huge salmon heads from the Asian grocery store. They cost just a fraction of the steaks, of course, they're mostly skin and bones but they also have lots of meat and the yummy fat that I really love. I wish the store sells salmon belly, I'd buy those too for their fat.
Most recipes for salmon head are soup, either Japanese with miso or Filipino style with souring agent. I was not in the mood for any soup as it's too hot for that. I steamed 2 pieces in sour fruit (kamias) and sea salt and broiled the other 2 just with sea salt then served with calamansi. DE.LI.CIOUS!

Jay, how does your mom prepare it, soup or grilled? I probably will get tired of it also; I eat it every Friday.:)
Truth be told, nothing is as satisfying as a properly cooked salmon head. Those eyes! SO savory...
Midge, I think I'll grill them this weekend. And yes, the eyes...they're pretty..yummy.:)
