Cooking Times Vary On Wild Vs. Farmed Salmon
Wild salmon generally cooks faster than farmed salmon because of lower fat content and it's also generally thinner.
Adjust your cooking time down if you have wild salmon or thinner fillets.
Remove Salmon Pin Bones If Needed
Pin bones are the little bones that are sometimes in fish. They are annoying at the least.
Remove them with some tweezers and pull them away gently holding the flesh of the fish down (the flesh will be delicate if it's fresh). Pull them away in the direction that you think they got in.
Pin Bones can also be left in and cooked but keep an eye out and remove them before eating salmon.
