Expert Tip:
- Freshness counts when picking the right salmon. When you’re at the fishmonger’s counter, look for the most vibrant, translucent flesh. Color means flavor. Also consider asking for tail fillets. The thick steaks, while sometimes bigger, can take a while to cook, while the flatter pieces of the tail cook quicker, more evenly.
- Like the skin? Great. But even if you don’t, it’s sometimes a good idea to keep it on, because it acts as a great base to cook. You might spend 70% of your time cooking on the skin-down side, leaving you perfectly crisp, golden skin that you can either devour or donate to your mate’s plate.

Expert Tips
- Rattle-free, secure storage is really important for vehicle-based camp kitchen equipment. Detour Plates and Bowls have a silicone rubber insert in the base that prevents them from rattling and also makes them slip-proof even on less-than-ideal surfaces. The Cutlery and Utensils come with a silicone rubber keeper that prevents the individual utensils from bouncing or rattling around or even going Walkabout (Aussie slang for going missing) while you’re driving. The pots can be collapsed for compact storage, and the Click-safe handles can be reversed to hold the lids and any tableware nesting inside firmly.
- Think about clean-up while you are preparing your meal. Take a moment to add some water and a little biodegradable soap to the frying pan as soon as you have served up the salmon. The stainless steel / silicone rubber surfaces of the cookware and tableware are easy to clean – just use a biodegradable soap and the soft side of a dishwashing sponge. Avoid using the abrasive side of the sponge on the silicone rubber – it will cause micro-scratches which will make it harder to clean in the future.
- Dispose of any waste water in accordance with Leave No Trace principles, at least 70 paces | 70 metres away from the closest water source (river, stream or lake)
- When cooking couscous, you can turn off the heat after the water has boiled – the grain will cook in the boiling water in around five minutes (which will save fuel if you are using gas to cook)
- The Detour Essential Camp Kitchen Set includes two cutting boards – so two people can chop and prepare veggies at the same time.
