HOW TO COOK SALMON AND WHAT TO SERVE ALONG

1. If at all possible, opt for wild salmon. I know, the differences between wild salmon and farm-raised salmon have been hotly debated. Still, whenever I can get my hands on quality wild salmon, that is my choice. Aside from health benefits, it has a silky texture; brilliant hue; and overall superior taste.

2. Avoid over-cooking salmon no matter the cooking method. Even thick salmon fillets will cook fairly quickly, so don’t walk away too far from it as it cooks. As a general rule, salmon is ready when the flesh looks opaque and flakes easily with a fork.  The recipes below will provide specific instructions, still it’s good to watch closely as your oven or grill will be different.

3- What to serve along salmon? If you view the salmon recipes below, they will likely have some specific suggestions. But, I’m always up for adding a large bright salad like fattoush; balela; Greek salad; or this simple 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad. If a recipe doesn’t already incorporate a side of veggies, I highly recommend Italian roasted veggies; these Greek green beans; or simple herb-tossed sweet potatoes.

A drizzle of tahini is always a welcomed addition, if the salmon recipe doesn’t come with a sauce.

Let’s get to the epic salmon recipes now, shall we?
