To prepare, you can pan-sear the salmon in a hot skillet with a little oil until the skin is crisp and the flesh is cooked through. Alternatively, it can be baked in the oven, often seasoned with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Grilling is another excellent method, imparting a subtle smoky taste.
