Things to Look Out For When Buying Salmon

Color: Salmon is usually light pink to red. There should be no darkening around the edges.

Smell: I guess the best way to describe this is that the salmon should smell like the ocean. The smell shouldn’t be off-putting.

Texture: Salmon flesh should be firm, and if it’s not frozen, should be shiny too.

Tips & Tricks

I recommend serving this with Italian Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts!

Make it spicy by serving it with a dash of hot sauce.

Sometimes I like to have a class of wine when I make salmon. I’ve found that Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc taste best with this recipe.
