Tips & Tricks (5)
- Salmon Skin Secret 🐟Keep the salmon skin on during baking to lock in moisture and create a protective layer that prevents overcooking.
- Herb Infusion Technique 🌿Crush fresh rosemary between your fingers before adding to release essential oils and maximize the herb's aromatic potential.
- Butter Basting Magic 🧈Melt butter with minced garlic before spreading over salmon to create a rich, flavor-packed coating that caramelizes beautifully.
- Lemon Zest Boost 🍋Grate fresh lemon zest over the salmon just before serving to add a bright, citrusy dimension that elevates the entire dish.
- Perfect Moisture Control 💦Cover the baking dish with foil for the first half of cooking to trap moisture, then uncover to allow slight browning and crisp edges.
