What kind of salmon should I buy?

I know, so many choices at that seafood counter! Experts tend to agree that wild caught salmon is the best nutritional choice, because those salmon eat a more natural diet. However, you are mostly going to find farmed salmon, which is a perfectly find back-up choice. Salmon is a good and good for you power food!

Can I use a different herb than chives?

You bet! I like both fresh oregano and fresh thyme for this recipe - you could also use chopped scallions.

Are you supposed to eat the skin on the salmon?

You 100% can if you want to - it is actually full of good nutrients - but some folks (raises hand) don't like the texture. So, totally up to you!
