Tips for Baked Salmon
First, use good quality salmon. That cheapest fillet at the fish counter that looks like it’s seen better days, has seen better days. There is nothing you can do to improve old fish. How do you tell? The best way is to smell it. If it smells strongly of fish (or something worse), don’t buy it. I’ve actually taken fish back to the market that didn’t smell right when I took it out of the package. Trust me, you don’t want to eat it.Second, don’t overcook the salmon! It’s so easy to do. Do not bake the salmon until it is completely flaking apart, that’s overdone. When baked salmon fillets come out of the oven they should still be just a little bit rare in the center. They’ll continue to cook in the residual heat and be perfect when you go to eat them.
If you want to go a little fancier, try this Radicchio Salad with Green Olives, this Cucumber Salad, or some Classic Potato Salad. For a starch, you might like Pilaf with Mushrooms and Pine Nuts, Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto, or this Spinach and Orzo Salad.
