Notes on INGREDIENTS
Salmon any kind of salmon can be used with this recipe. King salmon is the one with the highest fat content and provides a rich taste. Atlantic salmon is cost-effective and easily accessible. I usually use skinless salmon fillets in order to ease. Look for fish fillets with an even thickness, so that it is easy to cut into 1 inch cubes. Additionally, salmon that is uniformly sized bite-sized pieces cook evenly.
