Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon: Look for salmon that has a bright, vibrant color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull or has a slimy texture.
- Use a good quality cola: Not all colas are created equal. For best results, use a cola that is made with real sugar and has a strong, distinct flavor.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best enjoyed when it is served immediately after cooking. If you need to keep it warm, place it in a warm oven or on a warming tray.
