Helpful questions
How do I keep the seafood tender?
Divide the glaze before brushing raw salmon so the finishing sauce stays separate from raw seafood.
Can I use frozen seafood?
Yes, when it is suitable for this recipe. Thaw it in the refrigerator after removing vacuum packaging, then pat dry before cooking. Follow the recipe or product label if it specifically calls for cooking from frozen.
