Tips for Baked Salmon
- First, use good quality salmon. The cheapest filet at the fish counter that looks like it has seen better days has seen better days. There’s nothing you can do to improve old fish. how do you say it The best way is to smell it. If it smells strongly of fish (or something worse), don’t buy it. I actually brought fish back to the market that didn’t smell right when I took it out of the packaging. Trust me you don’t want to eat it.
- Second, don’t overcook the salmon! It’s so easy to do. Don’t cook the salmon until it’s completely peeled apart, that’s overkill. When baked salmon fillets come out of the oven, they should still be a little thin in the middle. They continue to cook in the residual heat and are perfect to eat.
