How to cook salmon to keep it juicy: an expert answers

When you cook salmon, you expect a delicious and juicy piece of fish to appear on your table soon. But it often happens that the fish is too dry, making it impossible to fully enjoy its flavor.

To avoid this, you should know how to cook salmon properly. Chef Mary Berry knows exactly how to preserve moisture in a piece of red fish, and she told Express about it.

According to Berry, this method will ensure that moisture is retained in each piece of salmon, starting with the first cooking. To do this, when preparing the salmon for the oven, its pieces should be placed on a baking sheet in the maximum proximity of an ounce from each other. The effect of using this method will become apparent after the first cooking.

If you are cooking exclusively for yourself, Berry still recommends using at least two pieces of salmon. One of them will be your lunch today, and the other will be a preparation for some future dish.

In addition, Berry assures us that salmon should be seasoned immediately before cooking. This way, the fish will not lose its flavor and will also retain moisture.
