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.
🍚 Rice
- Rinse rice 2-3 times before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Use a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water for fluffy results.
- Let rice rest covered for 10 minutes after cooking, then fluff with a fork.
Nutrition: Good source of energy and manganese. Brown rice adds fiber and B vitamins.
