Tips

  • Alternatively, drizzle a few drops of il circolo lemon infused olive oil over the salmon before serving.
  • With a metal meat skewer you can test whether the salmon is ready. Stick the skewer in the thickest part of your salmon and wait for a moment. Pull the skewer out and feel the temperature. If the metal is cold the salmon still needs some time. The salmon is ready when the metal feels warm (not hot, that means it is overdone).
