The best way to prepare a salmon is by baking or grilling it. You can also poach, fry, or sauté it. For baking, you'll want to season the salmon with herbs and spices of your choice before baking in an oven-safe pan at 350°F for about 15 minutes per side. Grilling is easy too; just season the salmon with your favorite herbs and spices and then cook over medium heat until cooked through. If you're looking for something different, try poaching the salmon in a flavorful liquid such as white wine, lemon juice, garlic, and butter. Finally, if you're feeling adventurous, you could even try frying or sautéing the fish in oil or butter.
