Baked Firecracker Salmon Cooking Tips:

  1. Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes before baking. This enhances the infusion of flavors into the fish.
  2. Preheat for Perfect Texture: Ensure your oven is preheated for optimal cooking. This helps achieve that delightful crispiness on the exterior while maintaining tenderness inside.
  3. Basting for Moisture: While baking, baste the salmon with the marinade occasionally. This not only adds extra flavor but also keeps the fish moist.
