Moroccan Salmon Tips
What kind of salmon fillets, skin on or off, should be used?
It's really personal preference. But since this recipe is baked, skinless salmon is preferable. If you don't know how to remove the skin, ask an employee at the fish counter; most local grocery stores can remove it free of charge.How else can you cook Moroccan salmon?
You could cook your salmon on the stovetop, even in a cast-iron skillet. Sear the salmon over high heat first, then add sauce ingredients. Cover and simmer just until fish flakes easily with a fork.
