## Tips

- When picking salmon, look for farmed Atlantic salmon with a vibrant orange color, good fat lines, a clean fresh smell, and the least excess liquid in the packaging.
- Always do your own research before eating raw fish and ensure you are comfortable with the source.
- For a home smoked salmon, cure the salmon for 8 hours in the fridge instead of 30 minutes.
