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.
🫘 Sesame Oil
- Toasted sesame oil is for finishing, not cooking — it burns easily.
- A few drops go a long way — sesame oil is intensely flavored.
- Combine with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger for an instant Asian dressing.
Nutrition: Rich in healthy polyunsaturated fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening for up to 6 months.
