 Judging when seafood is cooked just right is easier
 than most people think. As fish cooks, it turns from
 translucent to opaque. Don't be afraid to check by
 inserting a thin knife into the center or thickest
 part just before you think it is It is important to
 remove it from heat just before it is done because
 fish continues to cook off the heat. A general
 guideline to follow is cook at 400! or broil for 10
 minutes per inch of thickness, measuring the fish at
 the thickest part.

 Saut onions and peppers in oil in a medium skillet
 over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes or until
 softened. Whisk together remaining . ingredients
 except salmon, salt and pepper. Pour into d skillet
 with onion-pep- per mixture and bring to a boil,
 stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and keep warm.
 Cut center bones and skin from salmon steaks and cut
 into 1-inch chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Place
 on a greased baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes or
 until fish just flakes when tested with a for k. Serve
 salmon nuggets with a bowl of sweet and sour sauce for
 dipping. Makes 4-6 servings.

 ADULT VARIATION: Leave salmon steaks whole. Place on a
 greased baking sheet and broil for 10 minutes per inch
 of thickness or until fish just flakes when tested
 with a fork. Spoon sweet and sour sauce over the steak
