Roasted Coho with Honeycrisp Apple Sauce

This recipe offers a well-timed, balanced fall meal with accurate seasoning and cooking temperatures, though a bulleted list would improve clarity when adding the pan sauce ingredients.

Score: 9/10

Suggested fixes

  • In Step 6, format the sauce additions as a bulleted list set off by blank lines, separating out the vinegar, mustard, thyme, and water.

Issues

  • low / clarity: Step 6 combines four ingredients (apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, thyme, and water) in prose. Mixtures of more than three ingredients should be formatted as a bulleted list set off by blank lines.

Strengths

  • Excellent use of salt scaling guidelines with highly accurate quantities for each component.
  • Carefully timed oven sequence allowing potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and salmon to finish roasting simultaneously.
  • Clear temperature target of 125°F for perfectly cooked salmon.
  • Good utilization of active time to make the pan sauce while the components are in the oven.
