Tips

  • Buy good salmon and use it quickly.
  • If pan-searing, leave skin on for easier handling and crispy skin.
  • Don't overcook; aim for an internal temperature of 145°F.
  • For watery sauce, reduce water or simmer sauce before adding salmon.
  • Variations include pan-searing, adding lemon zest, using lime juice, or topping with green onions.
  • Sauce can be made ahead of time; salmon is also great cold on a salad.
  • Leftovers should be refrigerated and consumed within 3 days
