Answering Your FAQs:

Q: Which are the best oils for cooking salmon?

A: We used olive oil for this specific recipe, but we also recommend using canola oil and avocado oil. If you want to use avocado oil, know that this oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil.

Q: Should I leave the skin on?

A: We recommend leaving the skin on the fish because it helps to protect the salmon from overcooking and helps with retaining the richness in flavor.

Q: Can I substitute King Salmon with another fish?

A: Absolutely! While the unique taste of King Salmon is hard to match, you could opt for Coho Salmon or Atlantic Salmon as worthy substitutes.

Q: What pan works the best?

A: Cast-iron and stainless steel are ideal, but non-stick works as well.

Q: How do I know when my King Salmon is perfectly cooked?
A: Your salmon should easily flake when prodded with a fork, and its flesh should be opaque.
