Cooking Tips
🐟 Salmon
- Cook salmon skin-side down first for crispy skin.
- Don't overcook — salmon is best at 125°F (52°C) for medium.
- Wild-caught salmon has a more intense flavor than farmed.
Nutrition: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and protein. One fillet has about 40g protein.
Storage: Use fresh salmon within 2 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
🧈 Butter
- Use unsalted butter for cooking so you can control the salt level.
- Brown butter in a light-colored pan so you can see the color change.
- Clarified butter has a higher smoke point and won't burn as easily.
Nutrition: Source of vitamin A and healthy fats in moderation. One tablespoon has about 100 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 6 months.
