Common questions
How do I keep salmon from drying out?
Use similarly sized portions, start checking near the earliest suggested time and judge the thickest piece first. Carryover heat will continue cooking the fish briefly after it leaves the heat.
Can I make this recipe ahead?
You can prepare many of the ingredients ahead, but salmon is usually best cooked close to serving. Refrigerate any cooked leftovers promptly.
