Tips and Variations
- Make sure the salmon is at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan or grill, as this can cause the salmon to cook unevenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the salmon reaches a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Try different seasonings and marinades, such as lemon juice, garlic, and dill, to add flavor to your salmon.
- For a crispy crust, cook the salmon in a skillet with a small amount of oil and then finish it under the broiler for a few minutes.
- For a healthier option, bake the salmon in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
