Note
Scrumptious California salmon starts with premium, fresh fillets that have been patted dry for the best possible seasoning. This guarantees even cooking and a tasty crust. To preserve the salmon's juiciness and delicate texture, cook it just until it flakes easily with a fork. For the freshest flavor, serve right away, and taste and adjust the seasoning. For a hearty, delectable supper, serve it with roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
