Choosing & preparing salmon
How to choose
Look for firm, springy flesh with a fresh sea smell and bright, moist colour. Thicker centre-cut fillets cook more evenly than thin tail pieces.
Prep & storage
Leave the skin on to protect the flesh and crisp up in the pan. Pat dry, season just before cooking, and don't move it until it releases cleanly from the pan.
When is it done?
Best at 50–52°C / 125°F for a silky medium centre; it should flake gently but still look slightly translucent inside.
Nutrition
One of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, plus high-quality protein, vitamin D and B12.
Classic flavour partners: lemon, dill, soy sauce, ginger, honey, garlic
