Pro Tips
**Chef's Tips & Troubleshooting:**
- Let the oven fully preheat before putting the dish in for consistent cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness rather than relying on cooking time alone.
- Add shellfish like clams and mussels in the last 5 minutes of cooking once they open.
- For seafood soups, add the seafood last and simmer just until cooked to preserve tenderness.
Cooking Tips
Seafood cooks quickly — remove it from heat the moment it turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking makes it tough and rubbery. Pat shellfish dry before adding to the pan so they sear rather than steam. A hot, quick cook preserves their natural sweetness. Have all your ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking — quick dishes leave no time for chopping mid-recipe.
Ingredient Substitutions
Short on time? A pressure cooker (Instant Pot) can reduce cooking time by roughly half for most braised and stewed Filipino dishes. Reduce liquid slightly since less evaporates.
Storage & Reheating
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. The flavors often deepen overnight, making leftovers even more delicious. Seafood dishes are best consumed within 1–2 days. Reheat gently — microwave on low power or warm in a covered skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking. Do not refreeze thawed seafood dishes. Once reheated, consume immediately and do not re-refrigerate. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if the sauce has thickened during storage. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each.
Creamy Baked Salmon
Fresh salmon fillet, lady’s choice mayonnaise, all-purpose cream and cheddar cheese cooked the Filipino way — savory, satisfying, and best served with steamed rice.
Instructions
- Season with both sides of the salmon with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Arrange carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, and long green beans on a baking tray. Sprinkle ground black pepper and salt. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss. Spread the vegetables evenly in the baking pan. Roast in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Bring to a simmer remaining olive oil in a pan. Fry both sides of the salmon for 2 minutes. Squeeze half a lemon over the salmon. Set aside.
- Make the dressing by heating the all-purpose cream in a saucepan (use low heat setting). Turn the heat off. Add cheese and then stir until it melts. Add salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Squeeze the remaining lemon. Stir until well blended. Add Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise. Stir.
- Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven. Arrange the salmon on top of the vegetables and then spread the dressing all over the salmon.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Bake the salmon for 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve.
