can you do this on a barbe que?
how long does it last in the fridge?
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
what about salt? salmon needs it
salmon usually needs a good amount of salt – was it omitted on purpose?

Thanks for sharing – Bitayavon!
fillets, size is around 2 inches – a regular portion
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.
1 cup loosely packed fresh dill
a cup of dill? really? fresh or dry?
