💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Cook salmon to an internal temperature of 125°F for medium-rare, as the proteins coagulate at 120°F but collagen doesn't break down until 140°F, giving you flaky texture without dryness.technique125°F internal temp
- ✓Reserve salmon fat in the pan because it contains omega-3 fatty acids and natural fish oils that will emulsify with citrus acids to create a silky sauce base.technique
- ✓Strain your orange sauce to remove pulp and achieve a glossy nappe consistency that coats the back of a spoon at 180-185°F without breaking.technique180-185°F
- ✓Add orange zest after cooking because citrus oils are volatile and evaporate at 175°F, losing 60% of their aromatic compounds when heated.timing60% compound loss at 175°F
