If you don’t know how to cook fish, then it can be a total nightmare to deal with. Salmon is one of them. If you don’t know how to manage it properly, it can easily stick to a pan and you will have a mess before you. Salmon is rich in protein and can be a great source for Vitamin A, multiple B-vitamins and even Vitamin D. It is also packed with minerals like magnesium, potassium, zinc and selenium. When preparing this dish, avoid the most common mistake a lot of newbies in the kitchen make and that is taking off the skin. Not only is this part tasty but it provides a safety layer when you are cooking this fish.

SOCIAL DISH-TANCING


Most of the restaurants and hotels in the country are now open but they are operating under strict guidelines enforced by the relevant ministries. There is a ‘new normal’ to the dining experience and this includes temperature check as well as proper social distancing by limiting restaurant capacities to 50 per cent and with restriction of only four people per table.


For those who are still uncomfortable dining out and exposing their families to possible infections, we are bringing back ‘Cook Like A Chef’ where we ask reputable and unique chefs to share easy-to-do recipes at home.


The food at home doesn’t have to be stale and repetitive. Curated twice a week from our numerous contributors coming from luxury hotels to international chains and local food champions, we hope you will enjoy these selections and let us know on Instagram and Twitter via our handle @OmanObserver of what you’d like to see next featured in our series.
