What is the best way to cook salmon?
Salmon is a versatile fish that cooks well across a variety of methods. With a strong fishy flavour and smell, those with more delicate palates may prefer a cured or smoked salmon, as it has a gentler flavour profile. For a more robust flavour, grilled, baked or fried salmon is a quick and easy way to prepare your fish.
