Chef critique
Coho Salmon with Delicata & Sage Brown Butter
This is a meticulously crafted and seasonally appealing recipe with excellent culinary technique, precise seasoning, and only a minor discrepancy in the estimated cost.
Score: 9/10
Suggested fixes
- Update properties.estimated_cost_dollars to approximately 24 to accurately reflect the cost of the ingredients.
Issues
- low / cost: The estimated_cost_dollars is listed as $15, but the sum of the explicitly priced ingredients alone (salmon, squash, apple, sage) is nearly $23. The estimate should be updated to reflect the actual cost.
Strengths
- Excellent timing and workflow, keeping the cook actively engaged while utilizing passive oven time.
- Precise and perfectly calculated salt amounts for the protein and vegetable components.
- Smart technique for achieving crispy salmon skin by drying the skin, pressing it in the pan, and cooking it primarily on the skin side.
- Spot-on temperature guidance (125°F) for medium-rare/medium salmon.
