The first fish I folded into my cooking repertoire was farm-raised salmon. Not surprising, right? Lots of people start that way because it’s easy to prepare, versatile and affordable. I baked it with soy sauce and brown sugar, I glazed it with maple syrup, I coated it with mustard or I grilled it with veggies. Though the list of fish I cook with is far longer these days, I still reach for salmon for a quick, easy and delicious dinner.
