Baked Salmon Recipe
Baked Salmon Recipe: Does food get any better? Salmon is fatty, full of vitamins and omega-3s, flavorful. The best part is it’s fast and easy to cook and high in protein.
Choose a salmon that is fresh. Ask the vendor when it was caught. It should look firm and bright, not dull. It should not smell funny. Always buy from a reliable vendor.
