Should I eat salmon skin?

When salmon is broiled or baked, the skin is typically not crisp, and it's advisable to discard it. However, if you sear the salmon on the stovetop, the skin can be cooked until crisp and becomes delicious to eat

Can I prep the salmon ahead?

Yes! You can enhance the flavour by adding the paprika mixture to the salmon up to 4 hours ahead of time.

Is oven grill and broil the same?

In Australia, the terms "oven grill" and "broil" are often used interchangeably, and both typically refer to the cooking method where heat comes from above the food. In many Australian ovens, the top heating element is used for grilling or broiling.
