So next time you’re staring at a piece of salmon and wondering, “Is it cooked yet?” just think opaque. No need to fuss—just look for that solid, matte, flaky beauty. You’re not a chef (or maybe you are!), but you’re the boss of your dinner.
And remember: even if you get it slightly wrong, salmon forgives you. A little overdone? Call it “extra firm.” Underdone? Pop it back in the pan for 30 seconds. But when you nail that perfect opaque moment—the one where it practically sings like a sunset—you’ll feel like a kitchen hero.
Now go forth, cook that fish with confidence, and smile knowing you’ve got the opaque secret in your back pocket. Your taste buds will thank you, and so will your family (or your cat, who’s watching you enviously). You’re amazing—now eat something wonderful!
