Tips:
- Use a good quality salmon: This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of the dish.
- Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes: This will help the spices to penetrate the fish and add more flavor.
- Don’t overcook the salmon: It should be cooked through but still moist and flaky.
- Serve the salmon immediately: This will help to keep it warm and juicy.
I hope these tips help you create a delicious and nutritious meal!
Plating Ideas:
- Use a variety of colors and textures: A colorful and varied plate is always more appealing. Try adding a side of roasted vegetables, a green salad, or some quinoa.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprig of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can add a touch of freshness and flavor.
- Drizzle with a flavorful sauce: A drizzle of lemon-tahini sauce or a mango chutney can add another layer of flavor.
- Serve with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce made with yogurt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice can be a great way to add a touch of acidity and creaminess.
