Expert Tips And Notes

Check The Internal Temperature: Depending on the size and thickness of your fish, cooking time will vary. Start checking the internal temperature using an instant read thermometer at about the 15-minute mark.
Use Fresh Organic Ingredients: This easy recipe only requires a handful of ingredients, so you must use good quality, fresh ingredients for great results. Not only are higher-quality ingredients better for you, but they also allow for a more robust flavor.
Use Good Quality: Do your best to use wild salmon, and if you can try using wild king salmon as it has a higher fat content resulting in a very juicy fish.
