How to Cook Salmon Perfectly
Over-cooked salmon becomes dry and unpalatable. Because salmon continues cooking after being removed from the heat, cook only until it feels firm when pressed lightly with the back of a fork. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Tips on How to Shuck an Oyster
- Grasp the oyster or clam firmly with one hand.
- Place it on a towel so the oyster or clam doesn't slip.
- Dig your oyster knife into the divot nearest the hinge. Be careful not to apply to much force as this may cause you to slip and stab your hand.
- Twist the oyster knife to open the shell.
- Once the shell is slightly opened, continue to follow the opening around and twisting the knife.
- Once the shell is completely open, scrape the top inside of the shell to seperate the muscle.
- Seperate the muscle from the bottom as well.
- Be sure not to lose the juice or brine. This gives tremendous flavor when eating.
- You can serve with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, horseradish, hot sauce and more.
- Enjoy!
