Fish: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking by Mark Bittman

A complete guide about how to cook and buy fish.

When you buy fresh salmon, keep it refrigerated (in the coldest part of the refrigerator) until you are ready to cook. Make sure you cook the salmon within one or two days.

When you are cooking salmon, leave the skin on, because it will help hold the fish together while turning or moving it. The skin comes off easily after cooking if you wish to remove it.

#1 Baked salmon recipes - Baked salmon with rosemary and baked tomatoes.

For the baked salmon:

12 ounces salmon fillet
3 large cloves of garlic (minced the garlic)
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and fresh ground pepper
5 tablespoons of olive oil
Juice of one lemon
Lemon wedges

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Spread the minced garlic, the rosemary, salt and pepper on both sides of the salmon. Place the salmon in a roasting pan that has been coated with olive oil. Sprinkle the remaining olive oil over the fish. Bake the fish for 20 minutes.

Use a fork to see if the fish is cooked. If the fork goes down very easily and the meat makes no resistance, this means that the fish is done.

Sprinkle the salmon with lemon juice and serve it with lemon wedges.

For the baked tomatoes:

6 large ripe and fresh tomatoes
1 clove of garlic (chopped very fine)
1 1/2 cups of fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 cups of fresh parsley (leaves only)
salt and fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup of olive oil
4 tablespoons of unseasoned bread crumbs

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Wash the tomatoes and wipe them with a paper towel, then cut them in half horizontally and remove the seeds from the tomatoes. Sprinkle some salt inside of the tomato halves and let it stand for 20 to 25 minutes.

Chop the garlic, basil and parsley - mix them together and season with salt and pepper. Fill in the tomato halves with the chopped herbal mixture and after, sprinkle the top with bread crumbs.

Place the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish, and make sure the pan is coated with olive oil. Sprinkle some of the olive oil remaining over the tomatoes for extra flavor. It should be cooked after about 25 minutes.

Serve the hot tomatoes with the baked salmon. This may become one of your favorite baked salmon recipes.

For the salmon:

finely grated rind of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
1/2 small onion finely chopped
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander
4 fresh salmon steaks
1/2 cup of olive oil

Mix together the lemon rind, black peppercorns, onion and coriander in a coffee grinder to make a coarse paste. Spoon onto one side of each salmon steak pressing on well.

Pat off any excess oil with absorbent paper towels.

For the salsa:

1 mango, peeled and cut into dice
1 lime juice and finely grated rind from the lime
1/2 red chili deseeded and finely chopped
