How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh salmon
- You should choose salmon with smooth, shiny skin and scales firmly attached to the body. When you lightly press, it should have good elasticity. When you gently bend the fish and let go, there should be no wrinkles.
- Fresh fish has bright, sparkling eyes, not cloudy.
- If you choose pre-filleted fish, you should select pieces that have a bright orange color. The fat lines on the fish should be evenly distributed, bright white, and you should feel the smoothness.
How to choose and where to buy quality butter and whipping cream
- When buying butter and whipping cream, you need to choose products with a clear origin, selecting reputable brands in the market to avoid purchasing low-quality goods. When buying whipping cream, due to its tendency to melt easily, you should check whether the whipping cream is stored at the appropriate cold temperature.
- You can buy butter and whipping cream at grocery stores, supermarkets, markets, convenience stores, or shops that sell baking ingredients. Alternatively, you can buy online from reputable e-commerce websites.
How to choose fresh asparagus
- Choose asparagus with straight stalks, and the tips should not be bent. When held, they should feel crisp and firm.
- Asparagus must have a bright green color, not yellowing. The tips should be dark green or light purple, indicating fresh, quality asparagus. Avoid choosing asparagus with yellowed tips.
- Avoid asparagus that is bruised or has spots. Choose fresh asparagus with no odor.
How to choose fresh mini carrots
- Choose carrots that are bright in color, still firm, with a layer of orange skin, and green tops and leaves, without any bruising. Good carrots will retain their flavor and stay fresh longer.
- Select medium-sized carrots, as they are easier to prepare than large carrots.
- Avoid young carrots, as they will be soft and lack the characteristic aroma of mature carrots.

Prepare and marinate the salmon
300g of salmon fillet should be washed thoroughly with water and then left to dry completely.
Marinate the fish with the juice of a yellow lemon (about 1/2 fruit), 1/3 spoon of salt, and 1/3 teaspoon of pepper.
How to clean salmon effectively- You can use fresh milk to effectively eliminate the fishy smell from the salmon. Just soak the fish in milk for about 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and let it drain well.
- Alternatively, you can use a mixture of lemon juice and diluted salt, then soak the salmon for about 5 minutes to effectively remove the fishy smell.

Sear the salmon
Place a pan on the stove, add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, and sear the salmon at medium heat for about 3 minutes until both sides are golden.
Sear the skin side of the fish first, then the flesh side.

Sautéed Vegetables as a Side Dish
Place a pan on the stove, add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, then add 1 clove of garlic and 1 sprig of finely chopped rosemary, followed by the prepared vegetables including 4 mini carrots, 4 asparagus stalks, 1/2 potato, 1/2 cucumber, and a little salt and pepper.
