Tips for Chilli salmon with coriander salad

Here are some tips to make your Chilli Salmon with Coriander Salad even better:

1. Adjust the spice level: If you love heat, add extra chilli powder. For a milder taste, reduce the amount of chilli powder used.
2. Grill it right: Make sure your grill or oven is properly preheated to ensure a crispy exterior on the salmon.
3. Perfectly cooked salmon: The salmon is done when it easily flakes with a fork but is still moist inside. Overcooking can make it dry.
