Ingredients

Salmon and Basics

  • Coho Salmon Fillets (fresh, skin-on)
  • Olive Oil
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Garlic

Fresh Herbs

  • Dill
  • Parsley
  • Thyme

Seasonings

  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Paprika
  • Chili Flakes

Optional Variations

  • Cajun Seasoning (for spicy twist)
  • Honey and Maple Syrup (for glaze)
  • Fresh Breadcrumbs mixed with herbs (for herb-crusted option)
  • Soy Sauce, Ginger, Sesame Oil (for Asian-inspired soy glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Salmon: Rinse your Coho salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispier finish when cooking.
  2. Marinating: Create a simple marinade using olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and your choice of fresh herbs or seasonings. Coat the salmon evenly and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.
  3. Cooking Options: Choose your preferred cooking technique—pan-searing for a caramelized crust, baking for gentle even cooking, or grilling for a smoky aroma. Each method will enhance different aspects of the salmon’s flavor and texture.
  4. Finishing Touches: After cooking, garnish with freshly chopped herbs like dill or parsley and add a fresh squeeze of lemon to brighten and balance the rich fish.
  5. Serving: Plate the salmon alongside complementary sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a satisfying and well-rounded meal experience.

Notes

  • Choose fresh salmon from a reputable source for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Aim to avoid overcooking; salmon is best when it has a slightly translucent center.
  • Use a meat thermometer and cook until internal temperature reaches 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare doneness.
  • Always pat salmon dry before cooking to ensure a crispy crust rather than steaming.
  • Let cooked salmon rest a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute evenly.
