đ©đŒâđł Chefâs Tips
Like steak, you can cook salmon to different âdonenessâ levels based on your preferences. The food-safe internal temperature is 145° Fahrenheit, but cooking the salmon to that temp will almost guarantee you end up with dry, tough fish fillets. Personally, I recommend taking the salmon out of the oven once the fillets reach 115° in the thickest areas. Let them rest 5 minutes before serving â theyâll cook a little more as they do. You should end up with a perfectly âmediumâ jerk salmon fillet thatâs juicy, flaky, and tender! If youâve got time, prepare the mango salsa in advance! Even an extra 30 minutes will make the flavors deeper and more pronounced. Just refrigerate the salsa in an airtight container until youâre ready to use it! If you donât have the extra time, donât worry. Itâll still be totally delicious if you make it right before serving it. Depending on the size and thickness of the salmon fillets, they may cook in 2-3 minutes, or they may need up to 7 or 8 minutes. The strength, age, and efficiency of your broiler also makes a difference. Since there are different variables at play, eye balling the fillet doneness can be hit or miss. The best, most reliable way to gauge how much time your salmon needs is to use a meat thermometer and check the temperature often.
