Note

When preparing Quick Cheesy Baked Salmon, ensure that you choose fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Preheat your oven for even cooking. Consider using a combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella and parmesan, for a delightful flavor contrast. If you prefer a crispy topping, broil the salmon for the last few minutes of cooking to achieve a golden-brown crust. This dish is best enjoyed in spring when fresh salmon is at its peak, but it's delicious year-round.
