Smoky Ballistic Blonde Salmonnew
Whereas some fancy recipes might suggest poaching your fish in wine with vegetables, I suggest letting it swim in a nice, cold citrus bath with beer, and then cook over a low fire infused with apple wood.

Brine, Baby, Brinenew
With brining, salt water enters the meat's cells while water flows out. As the salt flows in, it begins to break down some of the cell proteins, making it possible for more water to flow into the meat. This process results in more flavor and less moisture loss during cooking, yielding meat that is deeply seasoned and extra juicy.
