Tips and Recommendations
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture. Look for fillets that are firm, moist, and have a vibrant color.
- To enhance the lemon flavor, you can add thin lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet before baking.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spiciness or incorporate other herbs like parsley or tarragon for additional freshness.
- Serve the salmon with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a refreshing cucumber salad for a well-rounded meal.
- Leftover baked salmon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy it cold on top of salads or use it to make a delicious salmon sandwich.
