Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught Alaskan salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and nutrients.
  • Prepare the salmon properly: Before cooking, remove the skin from the salmon and cut it into even-sized pieces. This will help ensure that the salmon cooks evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: To add flavor to the salmon, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. You can also use a store-bought marinade. Just be sure to read the label carefully to make sure it doesn't contain any unwanted ingredients.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat: This will help prevent the salmon from drying out. If you are using a grill, cook the salmon over indirect heat.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish it with fresh herbs or lemon wedges.
