Cooking steps
Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Trim the ends of the asparagus spears and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add the asparagus to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with asparagus and garlic. Stir well to combine.
Remove the salmon from the oven and flake it into smaller pieces using a fork.
Add the flaked salmon to the pasta and gently toss to incorporate.
Serve the salmon pasta with asparagus hot, and optionally with a side of steamed rice or a green salad.

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.
