You can make this dish two days before you plan to serve it and the salmon will absorb the marinade which will intensify the great flavor.

    no just put the lemons in as they are. The fish cooks fine in the 10-15 minutes as instructed. Another thing to remember is that the pickling helps the cooking process, however if you like it more well done you can leave it longer.

    As above – There are already salty components so you just need to add salt as needed

    Do I squeeze the lemon to make it into lemon juice? or do I just put it in the pot to boil with the rest of the ingredients? Do I put the fish in the oven after? because I don’t think the fish will cook in 5-10 minutes

    salmon usually needs a good amount of salt – was it omitted on purpose?

      Here’s my story sad, but true. Salmon was on sale in my neighborhood, but you had to buy the whole side. So I bought the whole side, asked them to slice it, adjusted the recipe because I had more than it called for, figuring I’ll serve it by all three meals this Shabbos. Well, I was wrong. This fish was so delicious, that I kept tasting, and tasting, and some of the pieces broke a bit, so I ‘tasted’ them also… I hope I have enough for tonight. Salmon came out moist, succulent and spiced just right. Thank you for a wonderful recipe, please keep them coming.

    “8 pieces of salmon ”
    steaks of fillets, skin on or off and how big of a piece?

    I can’t wait to get the answer and make this dish, it really looks yummy.

    Thank you very much

    Hello,
    Thanks, this looks really yummy. When I add the salmon to the simmering liquid, should I cook it with or without a lid? Tightly or loosely fitted?

    Thank you.

    onions – sliced, lemons – halved, dill is optional so it can be left out or substituted for dried dill – about 2 tbsp. A few minutes = 5 minutes.

    This recipe is imprecise. For example, is the onion sliced, quartered or whole? The same for the lemon.Can you substitute dried dill weed and how much? What is a “few” minutes — 5 or 10?
    Have just made this and will see how it comes out tomorrow for Shabbat lunch.
