Kinds of Salmon

chinnook salmon: buttery flavor and firm, meaty texture, which makes it a popular choice for grilling, smoking, and baking
sockeye: rich and robust in flavor, Atlantic and Norwegian: same type of fish, but farmed and wild-caught salmon
healthiest salmon: wild-caught Pacific salmon, particularly Alaskan varieties, like sockeye and coho, are generally considered a better choice due to their higher nutritional value and lower levels of contaminants compared to farmed raised

Ingredients You Will Need (see suggestions below for more flavor combinations)

salmon filets work fine, but for those who want higher fat, go with sockeye, king, and coho(or substitute a different seafood if not a salmon fan; sea bass, halibut, cod, mahi-mahi, or other fish you prefer)
white wine any brand we stick to sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, or chardonnay.
butter
lemon
fresh dill if you have to use dried, it will not have the same effect, in my opinion
sliced garlic
fresh parsley, flat leaf Italian parsley is what we use
salt and pepper to taste
Optional: rosemary sprigs, which is an acquired taste, do not add to much, just a tiny bit

Alternate Cooking Methods

Stovetop: saute in a gridded style cast iron pan with 2 tablespoons cooking oil or butter, add other ingredients, pan-fry for around 10 minutes, flipping once
Air Fryer: preheat to 400 degrees, oil spray salmon using an oven-proof pie plate, or place on an oil-sprayed basket. Add whatever other ingredients 2 minutes before completing cooking on top. It takes around 7 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily
Oven: preheat oven to bake at 400 degrees using the same directions as air frying, but place on bake for 12 minutes with ingredients of choice on top, around 6 minutes into baking
Grilled: heat the grill to 400 degrees, then place salmon, skin side up, on a gas grill over medium heat, or on a charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals
Note: salmon is cooked when the internal temperature is at 145 degrees
