    As a former fishmonger, thank you so much for the education on wild caught vs farm raised, and about frozen fish! There is a lot of consumer ignorance in that area that is difficult to overcome.

    Just happened upon Sohla's video because it was on the NYTs front page. Made the salmon for friends last night; friends that are connected to well known chefs and enjoy great food. "Best salmon I ever had" was a comment from last evening. I mentioned that I '"dry-brined" and that it was simple. I sounded knowledgeable. And, I have to say, the salmon was terrific... and all I did was follow Sohla's simple directions. And her presentation was really enjoyable... I will be searching for more of what she has to offer and looking into her cookbook. Please say thanks to her from Marc in L.A.

    YEEESSSS to telling people to just get in there with a chip. I hate spooning a dip onto my plate, but if that’s what others do, then you feel socially required to do so. And no, I’m not advocating for double dipping, but I’m also not afraid of a little edge of a bitten chip going into the dip again either!

    I love everything you do Sohla (please bring back The Big Brunch). I made the salmon last night. So simple and so delicious. My only caveat is be careful of the parchment paper under the broiler. I knew it was a bad idea but I thought If Sohla says it's ok, I should try. My oven went up in flames. No harm done and no injuries. On the plus side, it gave my fish a nice smoky quality.

    You can always get really flaky fish by overcooking it. Most folks are accustomed to dry, overdone - flaky - fish. Getting it to the point where the flesh comes apart easily but remains soft and moist is worth the effort. An instant-read thermometer is your friend. Take it off the heat 3-4 degrees before it reaches your desired temperature. It will keep cooking on the way from the pan to the table.
    Halibut, especially, is sublime when cooked to "just past raw," and turns in seconds to a dry, fibrous mass when cooked longer.

    cooking salmon to 145 degrees is necessary to kill off the bacteria so eating medium rare is risky. However at that temp the fish becomes too dry and inedible. You could consider getting sashimi grade or just eat smoked salmon like I do.
