Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: One night , my boyfriend told me he wanted to eat fish for dinner . I was excited because we caught so much fish on our lake last weekend and I was ready to cook some . I went down to our freezer where we keep all of our fish and grabbed a big salmon . I brought it back up to the kitchen and began to prepare it . Before I started preparing the salmon , I preheated my oven to make sure it would be ready to go . After the salmon was prepared , I seasoned it with salt and pepper , and wrapped it in a parchment packet to go into the oven along with some lemons , a sprig of rosemary , and asparagus . As I waited for the salmon to cook , I made a salad for us to eat . The salmon was ready and I took it out of the oven . Question: When did they cut the salmon into pieces to eat? Option1: Before cooking Option2: After eating.
Output (English): Before cooking
