EXECUTIVE CHEF NED BELLS TOP TIPS!

  • Use Canadian Canola oil instead of EVOO for better flavour and a higher smoke point

  • Use course local salt to season - Wild BC Salmon this fresh doesn’t need much enhancement!

  • When placing your fish in a hot pan, place the fish away from yourself to avoid hot oil splatter

  • Let the oven do the work! Just a quick pan sear before using the oven to finish cooking the fish

  • Wild Salmon is delicate, treat it that way - there is no need for tongs and flipping and over cooking.
