Keep it simple: a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of micro greens, and a dollop of creamy horseradish sauce. Or go bold with a miso-soy glaze brushed on two minutes before pulling it out.
The key is to let the skin shine. Don’t drown it in sauce. You worked for that crunch—let it have its moment.
The Leftover Hack
Cold crispy salmon is a revelation. Flake it over a salad, toss into scrambled eggs, or eat it straight off the baking sheet at midnight. The skin will stay crispy for hours if stored uncovered in the fridge.
Fun fact: leftover crispy skin makes an excellent garnish for soups or risotto. It’s basically a crouton that swam in the ocean.
