Procedures 1 Put the salmon in a heavy, snug pot or tall-sided skillet and cover with olive oil until completely submerged. Warm over low heat until the oil feels barely warm to the touch, about 100 degrees. White dots appearing on the flesh indicate that the heat is too high.

Season with salt and pepper and reserve. 3 In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute, then add the sugar snap peas and cook for 30 seconds, then add the peas for a final 30 seconds.

Food Joke

A friend and I were standing in line at a fast-food restaurant, waiting to place our order.There was a big sign posted. "No bills larger than $20 will be accepted."The woman in front of us, pointing to the sign, remarked, "Believe me, if I HAD a bill larger than $20, I wouldn`t be eating here."
