The fix

Pin it

Tap a step to check it off.

  1. 1 brush with a mix of 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon melted butter
  2. 2 squeeze lemon juice over the top
  3. 3 finish with chopped herbs and a pinch of salt

If it's still wrong

  • flake into a salmon salad with mayo
  • serve with a bold sauce like pesto

Prevent next time

  • season at least 15 minutes before cooking
  • finish with flaky salt after cooking

Notes

Why this works

Finishing seasoning works because most flavor sits on the surface. A salty, buttery glaze and a squeeze of acid make salmon taste fuller instantly.
