以其大胆的、丰富的风味和黄油质地,salmon can take on many personalities, depending on the seasoning and the cooking method. Yet despite its versatility, salmon doesn’t work with just anything. This fish is best paired with ingredients that can both highlight and temper its somewhat pronounced flavor. Today’s farm-raised salmon (the kind most widely available in grocery stores, but not your only option; see the panel below) has a particularly fatty, almost marbled texture, so it takes well to assertive cooking methods, too.

首先选择您的烹饪方法；然后决定如何调味鲑鱼。如果您要烤，烤或烤鱼，您会想要丰盛的调味料，草药和蔬菜，因为鲑鱼中的脂肪风味加剧了这些方法，并且需要通过其他浓烈的味道来平衡。迷迭香和百里香以及许多根蔬菜，搭配烤或烤三文鱼。大胆的亚洲风味，例如芝麻和生姜，无论是在酱汁还是腌料中，都与烤鲑鱼搭配得很好。

当它被偷猎或炖时，无论是在炉灶上还是在烤箱中，鲑鱼具有更轻，更精致的味道，因此请使用更精致的香草以及柑橘类水果。虽然奶酪的味道不佳，因为它是如此丰富和奶油，但有些乳制品，例如酸奶油和奶油奶油，实际上是驯服的，并补充了鲑鱼的腥味。我特别喜欢那些带有荷包或炖鲑鱼的口味。

您可能还想考虑在决定如何烹饪鲑鱼时提供多少人。如果您要为人群做饭，那么很容易烤或烤几个鱼片；如果只有您和一两个客人，则是一个很好的选择。所以柠檬-tarragon奶油奶油烤鲑鱼的烤鲑鱼on or the烤鲑鱼与小扁豆是理想的娱乐菜，烹饪时我会坚持一个或两个密友脆皮米纸的鲑鱼。

购物鲑鱼

在过去的几年中，鲑鱼是我们在夏季和初秋享受的特色菜。但是，农场的养育改变了这一改变，使鲑鱼全年可用，而且价格便宜。鲑鱼的健康益处（omega-3油和维生素A和B比例很高）也有助于使其受欢迎。有了这么多的鲑鱼市场，它有助于知道您要购买的东西。

耕种与野生鲑鱼。You’re most likely to find farmed salmon in your grocery store, but if you keep your eyes open (or ask for it), you might find wild salmon. Farmed salmon has a rich, fatty texture, while wild salmon has a leaner texture and a more complex flavor, so it mustn’t be overcooked. Look for wild Alaskan salmon, which is available nationwide throughout the year.

检查新鲜度。无论您购买的鲑鱼类型如何，请确保它是新鲜的。颜色的变化是自然的，但是无论色相如何，皮肤都是新鲜度的最佳指标：它应该是光泽和银色的。另外，肉不应该“散开”（剥落明显的孔），这是衰老的标志。如果可能的话，请从信誉良好的鱼市场上购买鲑鱼。寻找皮肤上的鱼（最新鲜），并要求鱼贩为您移除。

买一面并切自己的鱼片。The recipes here call for fillets, which are cut from a side of salmon (steaks are cut from a whole fish). I like to buy part of a side and cut the fillets myself. For 6- to 7-ounce portions, cut strips 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide; cut wider pieces from the flatter part of the salmon side. If the side of salmon is very wide, cut it in half down the middle first and then cut square portions.
