My preferred fish
Salmon is a substantial, fatty fish that is high in protein, antioxidants, and Omega-3 fatty acids.
Even the fried skin can be eaten, and it has a flavor that is rich and buttery.
With a smokey, delicious seasoning and a hint of garlic, this seasoning recipe brings out the flavor of salmon. Don’t forget to add some lemon juice as well!

Salmon is a favorite of so many home cooks. Additionally, it is a well-liked menu entrée in all steakhouses and seafood restaurants. But given that salmon may be somewhat expensive, many of us may worry about how to prepare it. This magical all-purpose seasoning blend is guaranteed to become a favorite!
- Always season salmon just before cooking to prevent the salt from prematurely breaking down the flesh.
- Additionally, we enjoy sprinkling it on the flesh prior to baking or pan-frying it.
- Alternately, mix it with melted butter and spread it before frying.
Preparing salmon
How long your salmon filet takes to cook will depend on its size and shape. A thicker filet will take more time to cook than a thinner, flatter filet. Make sure your salmon is not overcooked by checking it early.
The middle of the salmon should be somewhat transparent and fork-flake readily. Like many other forms of meat, when it is taken away from the heat source, the internal cooking process continues while the outside cools and seals in the juices.
