For optimal results, use fresh sage for its bright flavor in Sage-Rubbed Salmon, or use half as much dried sage. Aim for a flaky texture and refrain from overcooking the salmon to maintain its moisture content. For a lively touch, add a drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon to the dish. For a well-balanced supper, serve it with quinoa salad, mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies. To guarantee consistent cooking and the best possible flavor, let the salmon rest at room temperature for approximately fifteen minutes before cooking.
