Cooking Tip
Desired Result
Remember to taste as you go along adding the ranch dressing. You don’t want the flavor of the ranch to overpower the flavor of the fish.

Cooking Tip
Salmon
Be very very sure that when you are deboning the salmon you are very certain that you get all those tiny little sharp bones out of the mixture. You wouldn’t want one of those to stick you in the mouth.
