Lowkey…salmon is super easy to cook wrong if you’re lazy LOL
If this isn’t helpful just ignore me!! I bake salmon pretty regularly so this is just some mistakes I frequently make when I’m tired/lazy:
-not letting the salmon rest for like 25-30 min at room temp before putting it in the oven (results in some Dry salmon)
-not preheating the oven
in general just getting that perfectly done, soft, flaky salmon can be surprisingly hard without instructions? Idk how helpful that is for your purposes lmao
lol i don't even remember where i heard that salmon is hard to cook but i when i thought of minho purposefully giving jisung the WORST cooking instructions for when he makes dinner for his dates, i knew it had to be salmon. such a finicky dish. idk how yall do it.
i think he cooks it perfectly for jisung tho.
actually i take back my original concept. i think that maybe jisung just wanted minho to teach him how to cook bc jisung's plan was to eventually cook for HIM. so maybe he was just like "i want to cook for my crush when i ask them out 🥺" and kill bill sirens go off in minho's head. he's gotta teach him how to make the worst dish ever. he's gotta make it so that the fish on the plate trumps all of jisung's natural charms and make him seem utterly undatable. a lot to ask from a fish, but necessary.
cue him coming into their apartment (i guess this is in an au where they're roommates) and jisung is like "surprise i made dinner!" nervous and blushing, with two plates and one candle lit between them.
anyway the very poorly cooked fish does not do its job, minho is still very much infatuated. and he is also now calling for takeout.
