Notes
For best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon. To avoid overcooking, check the salmon’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 145°F (63°C). Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Serve with roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
