Notes
- Before applying the seasoning to the salmon fillets, pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Fresh salmon with brown spots or bruises should be avoided.
- If you buy frozen or pre-packaged salmon, be sure the packaging is tightly packed and not cracked or open in any way.
- If the salmon skin is left on, it can act as a natural barrier between the salmon and the heat source or dish, helping to maintain the moisture in the salmon.
- Cooking oven-baked salmon at too high or too low a temperature may cause it to dry out. You may keep the salmon wet by covering it as it cooks.
