Cooking steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a baking dish, place the sliced acorn squash and drizzle with vegetable oil. Season with salt and bake for 20 minutes, or until tender.
While the squash is baking, prepare the salmon fillet. Season it with salt and place it on a separate baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Pour the mixture over the salmon fillet and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
After the acorn squash is done baking, remove it from the oven.
In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sliced chili pepper. Sauté until onions are translucent.
Push the onions and chili pepper to the side of the skillet and place the marinated salmon fillet in the center. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the salmon is cooked through.
Serve the cooked salmon on a plate, alongside the baked acorn squash. Serve with cooked rice as a side dish.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
