Coho Salmon with Lemon-Dill Brown Butter

An expertly timed and perfectly seasoned salmon recipe, requiring only one minor formatting fix for a bulleted list.

Score: 9/10

Suggested fixes

  • Convert the bulleted list in step 4 into an inline sentence: 'Toss the potato wedges on the large baking sheet with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon fine table salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.'

Issues

  • low / clarity: Step 4 uses a bulleted list for only three ingredients (olive oil, salt, and pepper). Bullet lists should be reserved for mixtures of more than three ingredients.

Strengths

  • Perfectly calculates and allocates the salt percentages for the salmon, potatoes, and green beans.
  • Timing across the stovetop and oven components is impeccably choreographed so everything finishes together.
  • Properly presalts the salmon and lets it rest in the fridge, which will result in better flavor and less albumin leakage.
  • Concise and accurate temperature target for the salmon.
