Chicken doesn’t have to suck! Marinades are your friend. Sweet, sweet little chicken baths that load it with flavor and juiciness. Whenever I cook a chicken I stick with the tenderloins or thighs — if using full breasts, butterfly them so they’re not as thick! The quicker we can cook these suckers, the better.

I used to be SUPER intimidated to cook salmon since it’s much more expensive than meat and fairly delicate. I was afraid I would completely screw it up all the time. There are times where I don’t cook it exactly how I want to (honestly, while making this recipe I got distracted setting up my camera for photos and cooked it for a minute too long lol). But the thing is, it’s still delicious! And you only get better with practice. If you’re really nervous, try starting off with one fillet and go from there!
