Chef critique
Spanish Salmon with Smoky Almond Dressing
This is a brilliantly structured and well-seasoned recipe, though the potatoes may overcook given their small size and long roasting time.
Score: 9/10
Suggested fixes
- Either increase the potato cube size to 1-inch so they can withstand a 40-minute roast, or reduce the initial potato roasting time to 5 minutes before adding the Brussels sprouts.
Issues
- low / timing: At 425°F, 1/2-inch potato cubes will likely burn if roasted for 35 to 40 minutes. They typically only need 20 to 25 minutes total.
Strengths
- Perfectly applies the chef-recommended temperature and resting standard for salmon.
- Salt amounts are meticulously scaled to the exact percentages appropriate for each ingredient.
- Excellent workflow that utilizes the oven time for the salmon and the resting time for the pan sauce.
- Clear, concise language that handles divided ingredients perfectly.
