For optimal results, ensure the salmon fillets are of uniform thickness to promote even cooking. To enhance the ginger flavor, consider gently bruising the grated ginger before adding it to the salmon. Experiment with adding a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra layer of complexity. If you don't have non-stick foil, lightly grease the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the salmon.
