  1. Was trying to listen to this while I cooked. I kept having to look up. I’d rather have it explain it and demonstrate it. That way I only need to look(when)/ if I need help.

  2. I love a whole salmon filet baked at 400 degrees for 8-9 minutes. When I take it out of the oven it is still cooking. My husband likes my picatta sauce with capers pour over. Salmon is perfect and melts in my mouth.

  3. I stuff my salmon in a sock, swing it around my head like a helicopter and throw it in the dryer. High heat for 15 minutes. Works every time. When plating, simply use the sock as garnish or a napkin.

  4. As a vegetarian I eat a lot of fresh fish but some days if I wanted something rlly nice I would pan fry wit some herbs and spices and abit of lemon but I usually prefer it healthy so baked is the best one personally with its being healthier and flavoursome aswell
