Notes

  • You can use either fresh or frozen salmon for this recipe, just thaw according to package directions if using frozen salmon.
  • Do not overcook the salmon as it will result in dry and tough salmon. The easiest way to see if salmon has finished cooking is to press gently down on the top of the fillet with a fork or finger. If the flesh of the salmon separates easily along the white lines that run across the fillet, it’s finished cooking.
