Preparation Tips
Salmon can be baked, grilled, pan-seared, or poached. For perfect results, cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking as it can become dry. Season with herbs, lemon, and olive oil for enhanced flavor.
