So here’s my challenge to you: tonight, pick a side. Just pick one. Skin down or skin up. Don’t overthink it. Set your oven, season your fish, and trust yourself. If it’s perfect? You’ll feel like a genius. If it’s not? You’ll know exactly what to tweak next time.
That’s the magic—cooking is a living, breathing experiment. And you are the scientist with the best job in the world.
Now go preheat that oven. Your salmon is waiting, and it’s got a message for you: life is too short to worry about doing it wrong. But it’s never too short to make something crispy, flaky, and absolutely yours.
And who knows? Tomorrow, you might try the other method—and discover a whole new reason to smile.
