Cook salmon


  • Never overcook fish. As a rule of thumb, fish should be cooked for 12 minutes per inch in thickness. A fish is done when the center of the fillet loses its translucent appearance.

  • Do not over season salmon dishes. Fish should be cooked simply so its flavor is not lost in a maze of spices. A touch of butter and lemon may added.

  • Salmon should be kept tender and moist. In general, leaner fish needs moist heat than a fattier one.

  • Salmon is best served while still rare in the center.

  • During grilling, fish steaks and fillets should be at least 1/2 inch thick. A firm fleshed fish is a good choice for grilling because it holds together well.

  • Always sear both sides of a fish steak or fillet over the hottest portion of the grill and then move the edges to finish the cooking.

  • Usually, fish should be baked at 425 degrees F.

  • Pan frying and pan searing are two of the easiest methods to cook fish. Simply add butter to non stick pan and lightly season and cook in medium heat.

To prevent salmon from becoming dry and bland, preserve it moist and full of flavor. Take the salmon and slice it in the middle so that it will be a pocket. Do not cut it all the way through. Place small lemon slices inside this pocket. Add chopped cloves of garlic and black pepper to taste.

Place some aluminum foil around the salmon and close it loosely. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and pop in the salmon. Let it cook for about 10 minutes. Take the salmon out of the oven and let it sit in the aluminum foil for a few more minutes. Serve the salmon with some sauce like lemon and butter or marinara.
