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.
🌿 Asparagus
- Snap off the woody ends naturally — they break where the tender part starts.
- Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes for the best caramelization.
- Thin spears cook faster and are better for stir-fries; thick spears are best roasted.
Nutrition: Rich in folate, vitamins A, C, K, and fiber. Six spears have only 20 calories.
Storage: Stand upright in a jar with 1 inch of water in the fridge for up to 5 days.
