What it is

How people cook with it
Salmon is a versatile fish that can be prepared in many ways. It is excellent for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
- Pan-seared for a crispy skin
- Baked with herbs and lemon
- Grilled with a smoky flavor
- Poached for a delicate texture
To prepare, remove the salmon from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a better sear. You can season the fillets with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices. For pan-searing, heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Baking involves placing the seasoned fillets on a baking sheet and cooking in a preheated oven at around 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes. Grilling requires a preheated grill and cooking for a similar duration, flipping once.
How it differs from similar foods
