Notes
Fresh salmon is ideal for its texture and flavor, but high-quality frozen salmon can also work well. Ensure it's fully thawed before use. Wild salmon is typically leaner and has a richer flavor, while farmed salmon is fattier and more affordable. Choose based on your preference and availability.
