    when i see how very affluent men live when they don't have a doting-mother / maid... like this shit. even if he weren't an absolute turd out in the world, i could not respect him for living like this. this is how a toddler with a credit card would live: the feeding room is a giant screen, a big nap chair aimed at it, and 20lbs of frozen fish on a bun with ketchup.

    like jesus, you're rich as fuck. in DC. order in for chrissakes. or hire some personal chef to drop you off stuff you can reheat. what a weird ass gremlin.

      I've been complaining for years that our overlords are so fucking boring. Some of the most intensely concentrated wealth and power in human history and this is how they spend it. If just one of them had an underground fortress in a volcano I'd respect them all so much more. Screw fancy cars, buy some elephants to haul yourself around town. Hire enough people to throw yourself an old-school Roman triumph to get to capitol hill. Something

      To be fair salmon is i credibly hard to prepare. I cosider myself a pretyy good cook and its one of the things i cant get rigth. It either ends up dry or undercooked. At best i can compensate with the sauce but thats cheating. It dosent help that its expensive so i dont try that often.

        salmon is one of the more forgiving seafoods, since if it's a bit overcooked it's still somewhat moist due to the fat content, and if it's somewhat undercooked, it's still safe to eat (as long as it was stored and handled properly). also assuming you're cooking fillets, you can look at the side to get an idea of whether it's done. the main ways it gets fucked up are if you don't fully thaw it before cooking, or cook it way, way, too long.

          Not really. All shelfish and crustaceans are easier to cook in various ways.

          So are smaller fish like sole or trout. That have softer tissues

          Some of the bigger fish have more distinctive flavours like ray or shark that makes them easier too cook.

          In my experience salmon is not that oily about the same as tuna but tuna has also a stronger flavour so there is more ways to prepare it. And there are also bits of the tuna that are supper fatty and big enough to cut in stake form.

            Hard disagree. Salmon is so easy.

            Put it in a hot pan, skin side down. Wait for 3-4 minutes. Flip it. Wait another 2-3 minutes. Flip it. Is it close to being done? Put the lid on it and take it off the heat and let it chill. Is it still dark pink? Wait another 1-2 minutes and check again.

            If you see white stuff bubbling out of the salmon that’s your cue that you’ve overlooked it.

              And then it ends up with the texture of cardboard. Tere are some fish stakes you can do that with like the brown bits of marlin. But salmon aint one of em.

                Season the salmon with the salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Cook the salmon, without moving, skin side up, until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking until done to your liking, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and serve

                Literally the first hit when I googled “how to pan roast salmon”

        Idk me and my staff cooked salmon for a month and yeah we used a sauce but it was pretty straightforward and my staff is an intermediate cook in his own right. Dont think I could cook it confidently on my own yet but also im a perfectionist thats scared to cook anything but pasta and scrambled eggs on my own.

      The Idaho Mormons I know would cry if you put ketchup on their salmon.

      Those funeral potatoes they make are incredible.

      very, very few. interestingly, of the extremely small number of examples I can think of, they're all on the republican side. like, a few of them are legitimately golf buddies, go on vacation together, their kids are friends, etc. on the Democrat side, I really can't think of anyone I've known over the years who has legitimate, non-transactional friendships.

      Is that something people do? Put a little panko on baked fish? actual question because i have to make 2 special little meals every day for these random people who claim to have allergies and sometimes they tell me to bake some cod for one of them and it is just the saddest looking meal i've ever seen

        Oh yeah absolutely, put a kind of thick marinade (mayo-based is easy) on some fish, let it hang out in the fridge for a little while, then dress it in panko and bake it. If you don't mind making your own bread crumbs, you can crisp them up in butter to add a nice flavor.

        The best effort-to-delicious ratio for salmon I’ve found is literally just mix brown sugar with Dijon mustard until it tastes good to you. Smother that bad boy and bake it for about 15 minutes at 400. Serve with rice and some soy sauce🤤

          When me and my disability staff cooked salmon together a few months ago we did a teriyaki sauce. Tasted pretty good. But what you describe sounds pretty good too.

        You can make fish sticks or baja style fish tacos. If your friend cant have wheat you can use rice floor. Rice is generally procesed in a way to remove the poisonus bits of the grain. Also cod is better smoked and fried with onion and pepper than baked.

        If you must cook or fry large fish fillets, large fish like marlin or tuna or etc. have bits that look a diferent color because they have a lot of fat. these are the easiests parts to cook. They shouldnt be more expensive because people usually do not want them because of the wierd color.

    There are so many easy way to prepare salmon this is nuts. You can literally season and bake, or put in a small amount of effort to pan fry (you just let it sit skin side down for ages to crisp up well). Farmed salmon can almost ubiquitously be thawed, cut, and eaten as sushi.

    If I had tons of money I’d just pay someone to smoke my salmon.

    I hate that these people rule over me
