My love for seafood formed in a small coastal town, where the salty sea breeze mingled with the aroma of freshly caught fish. It was there that I first tasted salmon, its tender flesh melting in my mouth like butter. Years later, my pursuit of culinary knowledge led me to experiment with different cooking techniques and flavors. This baked salmon recipe is the culmination of my culinary journey, combining the simplicity of traditional cooking with the sophistication of modern cuisine.
