- Use fresh salmon. Salmon that is not fresh can have a stronger, more pronounced fishy taste.
- Remove the skin. The skin of salmon can also contribute to a fishy taste, so it is best to remove it before cooking.
- Rinse the salmon with cold water. This will help to remove any surface impurities that could be contributing to the fishy taste.
- Marinate the salmon in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This will help to add flavor to the salmon and mask any fishy taste.
- Cook the salmon on high heat. This will help to create a crust on the outside of the salmon, which will lock in the flavor and prevent the salmon from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
- Serve the salmon with a sauce or topping. This will help to add flavor and further mask any fishy taste. Some good options include a lemon-herb sauce, a garlic-butter sauce, or a salsa verde.
