Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose the Right Salmon Cut 🐟
Use center-cut salmon fillets of uniform thickness (1.5 inches) to ensure even cooking and prevent dry edges while the center remains undercooked.
Pat Salmon Dry for Better Browning 💧
Thoroughly dry the salmon skin with paper towels before cooking to achieve a crispy, golden exterior and allow the seasonings to adhere properly.
Toast Your Fennel First 🔥
Lightly sauté the sliced fennel for 2-3 minutes before layering it on the salmon to soften its raw bite and bring out its natural sweetness.
Control Citrus Moisture 🍋
Use thin lemon slices and reduce excess juice by patting them dry; this prevents the fish from steaming instead of baking and keeps the skin crispy.
Use a Meat Thermometer for Perfect Doneness 🌡️
Check the thickest part of the salmon for 120-125°F internal temperature, which accounts for carryover cooking and delivers perfectly moist, flaky flesh.
