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.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
