PAMELA’S TIPS
- Pat salmon dry before adding marinade — it helps the herbs stick and gives better flavor
- Don’t overcook — salmon is done when it flakes easily but still looks moist in the center
- Use fresh lemon for the brightest flavor
- GLP-1 users — salmon is ideal, high protein keeps you full longer with smaller portions
- Great for meal prep — leftovers taste amazing the next day cold or reheated
- Swap salmon for cod or tilapia to cut calories even further
