Coho Salmon with Shallot Beurre Blanc
This is an exceptionally well-written recipe with perfect salt proportions and masterful sequencing, needing only a minor cost estimate correction.
Score: 9/10
Suggested fixes
- Update properties.estimated_cost_dollars to 24.
- In Step 5, add 'in a medium bowl' when instructing the cook to toss the green beans with oil and salt.
Issues
- medium / cost: The estimated_cost_dollars is $14, which is less than the $14.99 price of the salmon alone. The combined cost of the listed ingredients is approximately $24.
- low / clarity: Step 5 instructs tossing the green beans with oil and salt while the sheet pan is in the oven, but it does not specify what vessel to use (e.g., 'in a medium bowl').
Strengths
- Perfectly calculated salt quantities by weight for the salmon, potatoes, and green beans.
- Excellent sequencing and time management, allowing the cook to assemble the delicate beurre blanc while the salmon rests.
- Precise and appropriate pull temperature for the salmon.
- Proper use of bulleted lists to cleanly format the potato mixture.
