Cooking instruction summary:

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. Cook for 18-20 minutes, until still rosy in the center. 2 Whisk together the lemon juice, zest, thyme leaves, and a little warm oil from the salmon. 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. Drain the vegetables and dry them well, then toss with the dressing. 4 Serve the salmon topped with flaky salt and surrounded by vegetables.

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
