Note
When preparing Garlic Salmon, it's important to keep a few key tips in mind. Start by using fresh garlic, as it provides the most robust flavor and pairs beautifully with salmon. For even cooking, choose salmon fillets of uniform thickness. If you’re baking the salmon, ensure the oven is preheated to lock in moisture and cook the salmon evenly.
The salmon came out perfectly cooked, and the flavor was just right.
