Tips & Substitutions
For the best results, ensure your salmon fillets are at room temperature before cooking. If you don't have kosher salt, sea salt can work as a substitute but adjust the quantity since it’s finer. To enhance flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley. You can also use panko breadcrumbs instead of flour for an extra crunch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon Jay's Way with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad to balance its richness. It pairs beautifully with crabmeat toasties for a delightful seafood meal. A squeeze of lemon over the salmon just before serving adds brightness and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the salmon in a preheated oven at 275°F (135°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can dry out the fish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skin-on salmon fillets for this recipe?
Yes, you can use skin-on salmon fillets, but be sure to adjust the cooking time slightly. The skin will help retain moisture, but you may want to sear it a bit longer to achieve a crispy texture.
What can I substitute for olive oil?
If you prefer a different flavor, you can substitute olive oil with avocado oil or melted butter. Both will work well with the salmon while providing their own unique taste.
Is it possible to make this dish in advance?
While freshly cooked salmon is best, you can prep the seasoning mixture in advance and apply it to the fillets before cooking. However, it's recommended to cook the salmon right before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
