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.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not cooking the salmon to a safe internal temperature, which can lead to foodborne illness.
• Not patting the salmon dry with a paper towel before cooking, which can prevent the seasonings from sticking.
