Useful tips and tricks

It is recommended to remove the salmon from the refrigerator approximately 15 minutes beforehand. before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Before placing in the pan, pat the fish dry with a paper towel to prevent sticking. This allows you to get an even golden brown crust.
You need to heat the oil in a frying pan before adding the fillets and make sure everything is very hot.
Season the salmon with pepper and salt before cooking to prevent moisture from being drawn out and drying out.
First, it is recommended to place the fillet in the pan, skin side up, and fry for 4-5 minutes. and only then turn it over and cook the same amount on the other side. Frying time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
When salmon is fried, its degree of readiness can be determined by its color change. It becomes paler starting from the bottom. Once the changed color has moved to the middle, you need to turn the fish over. This will allow you to get a tender, juicy and rosy fillet.
It is recommended that you reserve any juices left in the pan after the fillets have been seared and add them to the sauce.
To add garlic flavor to the sauce, you must first heat the oil and then fry the garlic in it for about 1 minute, but no more, to prevent burning.
When using wine, it is necessary to boil the sauce for a while so that the alcohol evaporates. In all recipes, wine can be replaced with chicken broth.
When adding lemon juice and other acidic ingredients, you must be extremely careful about the requirements of the recipe, do not disturb the sequence of adding products and mix them carefully. Otherwise, the milk or cream may curdle.
Heavy cream can be replaced with ten percent cream and vice versa. In most cases, the taste of the dish does not change significantly, but the texture may become different (thicker or thinner).
It is recommended to add sweet onions to the creamy sauce, but they must be white or yellow. Purple and red onions will give the dish an unpleasant blue tint.
When it comes to cooking red fish, the most common herb to add to it is dill. However, not everyone likes its specific smell. Therefore, you can reduce its amount at your discretion or even replace it with parsley or any other aromatic herbs.
When preparing pasta with salmon in a creamy sauce, you should leave the liquid in which the pasta was cooked. If the final sauce needs to be thinned out a little, adding the broth will help do this without losing the flavor of the dish.
If there is any sauce left over from lunch or dinner, it is recommended to place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It is advisable to shake it before use.
