Notes

Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as it’s cooked.

Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lemon juice, garlic, and herbs make a significant difference in the flavor of the dish.

Don’t Overcook the Salmon: Cook the salmon just until it flakes easily with a fork to keep it moist and tender.

Marinate for Extra Flavor: Allow the salmon to marinate in the lemon-garlic mixture for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
