Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Should you marinate salmon?

While marinating is not necessary to cooking salmon, it imparts much more flavor than seasoning alone. Salmon fillets are somewhat mild in taste and benefit from strong flavors, such as soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, lime juice, and orange juice.
