Presentation is key when it comes to a well cooked salmon and even better when you can prepare a gourmet chef style meal in your own kitchen using an uncommon method you probably never heard of until today. Restaurants just seem to get salmon cooked in a way you have probably tried multiple times and still left confused on how they do it. 

Salmon is rich in flavour naturally without any heavy seasonings, but the taste is elevated with that extra crisp texture, and if you want to replicate that restaurant worthy cooked fish, you can do the same if you dont skip one key step. Alex Delany from Bon apetit suggested: “To start, put your filets on a plate, skin-side up and uncovered, and chill them in the fridge for an hour. This sounds like a step you’d skip, right? Please: don’t. The fridge will dry out the skin, making it crisp-able.”

The good thing about the whole process of cooking salmon is that it’s all under 20 minutes, from preparation to cooking time.

It’s convenient and a good way of making yourself feel like a chef from your favourite restaurant.

Whether you have a huge kitchen or a small kitchen, the difference in the process to creating a meal that adds a layer or opulence to the evening whether that is with friends or alone can inspire you to find new little hacks to meals you have made multiple times. 

Salmon, an oily fish, carries several health benefits, being a source of omega-3 fatty acids. 

Moreover, oily fish play an important role in reducing the effects of inflammation and may offer protective properties.
