    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.

    Thanks Sohla! Delicious 🎣 from beginning to end. I can’t wait to make all of these. The curry will be first since I already have that fish frozen in the freezer. Cheers! 👍

    I always ask the fishmonger to clean & scale the fish for me. Sure it's not that hard to do at home, but it does make a mess and then I have the mess in my own tiny kitchen and on my own apron. Much easier to have the fishmonger do it in their waterproof apron and their stainless steel workspace that they can hose down.

    My husband insists salmon only goes on the grill. I will have to get him to try this salmon recipe. It looks great.

    Three wonderful recipes! One question though — what can I substitute for the bell peppers, which I cannot eat? Turnips, cabbage, broccoli?

    Sohla somehow manages to bridge high-level skills and a simple understanding of food and flavours. What a master!

    The amazing thing about Sohla is that she has the voice and intonation of someone who has no idea of what she's talking about and the skill of someone who's done everything in every possible way. That combination is irresistible. And unfortunately, the opposite is much more prevalent.

    I suppose I always thought of seasoning as both salt and pepper… anyone have good info on why just salt and no pepper? Pros/cons?

    If you just dunk your fish in a bowl or cambro of water down in the sink there’s pretty much zero splatter. That’s how I rinse cure off of all my proteins.
