Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, use fresh salmon if possible. If using frozen, ensure it's fully thawed before cooking. You can substitute white wine with vegetable broth for a non-alcoholic version, or use lemon-lime soda for sweetness. Consider adding garlic or other herbs like thyme for extra depth.

Serve the salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with crusty bread or rice to soak up the delicious juices. For an elegant touch, consider a glass of dry white wine or browse more Seafood recipes for additional pairing options.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the salmon in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid using the microwave as it can dry out the fish. Enjoy it cold in salads for a refreshing option.
