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.
🍋 Lemon
- Roll a lemon on the counter before juicing to get more juice out.
- Zest before juicing — it's much easier when the lemon is whole.
- A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens almost any savory dish.
Nutrition: Excellent source of vitamin C and citric acid. One lemon has about 17 calories.
Storage: Store at room temperature for 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 4 weeks.
