Watch How to Make Apricot Dijon Salmon:
Wild Caught Vs. Farmed Salmon Baking Times:
Farmed Raised Salmon (like Altantic or farmed King Salmon) tends to have a higher fat content so it can be baked longer without drying out. Farmed salmon also tends to have thicker filets. These thicker, fattier pieces of salmon are more forgiving and you can aim for the longer baking time. Wild Caught Salmon (like Sockey and Coho Salmon), tends to be thinner and less fatty (with the exception of some species like WILD King Salmon which can be just as thick and fatty as farm raised). Wild salmon needs to be baked more carefully since it is easier to overcook it. Aim for the lower baking times with wild-caught and check for doneness before you cook it any longer.
