Tips for Making the Perfect Seattle Salmon:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon, which is leaner and has a more intense flavor. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a vibrant color.
  • Proper Seasoning: Generously season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, paprika, or dill, to enhance the flavor.
  • Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Drizzle the salmon fillets with high-quality olive oil to help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cook the salmon fillets over medium heat to ensure that they cook evenly throughout without burning.
  • Keep an Eye on the Salmon: Salmon cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it to prevent it from overcooking. The ideal internal temperature for cooked salmon is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the salmon fillets with fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives, to add a pop of color and flavor.

With its delicate flavor and flaky texture, Seattle salmon is a versatile fish that can be prepared in a variety of ways.
