      Why make the pastry edge so difficult to cover with a top?
      Why is the pastry so dry?

    A little tip here: you can actually make this dish in same way you would make a wellington. However, cooking the rice and cool it in advance in square pan would help a lot in making it square shaped. If you didn't care about its shape you can just ensemble it in a sheet of puff pastry and fold like you would a wellington (the rice encasing the salmon). And you can definitely do it with raw whole slab of salmon (which is my favorite since cooking it in advance would make the salmon overcooked and the juice would flavor the rice). All in all it's a great party food since you can ensemble it in advance and then put it in the fridge a day in advance and just pop it in the oven when you need it

    Jaime (and the smiling encouraging spirit of Julia ever present) I didn't see anyone else talk about transfering big bulky things from one place to another so I will. Parchment paper on the baking tray might help a lot. (I finally found where a friend below suggested a sling) I also have a flat cookie sheet which has no wall on one side. Easy to slide from the baking sheet to the platter. Happy to see you finally put the two things NEAR each other...the more distance it has to go the more things can go wrong. Enjoyed the process.
    Back a few centuries the dough that things were baked in was bit tough to eat. the "Coffin" as it was called was probably given to the dogs. A much easier way to do this nowadays is buy or make a sturdy loaf of bread, Hollow it out and bake it with your choice of filling inside and the lid on top. use the inside bread for bread crumbs.

    3. Bake
    4. Slide off the inverter baking sheet by pulling the parchment paper with the pie on to the platter.
    Better to make this a smaller, intro course size, by using a smaller narrower pate mold. Easier to.handle.

    I've made Koulibiaka twice before(not Julia's recipe) and it seems bizarre to use canned salmon when you're making a duxelle and quick puff and pilaf from scratch. I guess this was made in a time when flash-frozen salmon wasn't available and fresh fish wasn't as common away from the coast, but in terms of cooking time you not really adding extra time with canned over fresh in terms of the actual preparation.
    Also, this imo is way superior to a beef Wellington(sorry Arthur). The flakiness of fish makes it structurally a more compatible dish to eat, while still tasting fantastic. I'd definitely recommend leaving the fillet whole if you try it again though. In terms of sauces a dill/sour-cream sauce, Normande, or Bearnaise are all nice. I also think Julia over complicated assembly with the pastry assembly/blind bake. I just assemble it with raw dough like a normal Wellington and bake until the pastry is puffed and golden. The beauty of this dish is that the fish steams perfectly within the pastry case so there's no reason to cook the fish ahead, and the rice on the bottom absorbs excess moisture so the pastry doesn't get soggy while baking. Interesting Julia's is the only recipe I've seen where the sauce is inside the case. I've only served it on the side.

      I would probably use filo pastry for the crunchy texture as the rest of the dish is quite soft and I dislike excessive double carbing. I totally agree about leaving the fish whole though for the stripes when the dish is served.

    When skinning the filet of salmon, your blade has to be directed down towards the cutting board as you take it through the fish. That way you will not waste so much meat which was left on the skin.

    I made a five-ingredient stir fry with orange marmalade sauce* and was very proud of myself. Jamie and I live in different worlds.
    *1/3 cup each broth (to match your protein) and marmalade, 1 T soy sauce, 1-2 t siracha. Use with beef, chicken or tofu. It's good. And, you don't have to prop it up or anything.

    Ooo buckwheat is a great idea. I love kasha and there is a trick to keeping buckwheat firm and tender instead of mushy when it meets moisture. Sauté the buckwheat in a lightly scrambled egg until dry. The egg coats the buckwheat and keeps it firm. (Not crunchy, it simply allows the buckwheat to retain its shape and not devolve into mush).

    I did finally did it! FB started suggesting your videos to me at some point before Xmas. I had a bunch of time off at that point, so, when I wasn't prepping Julia's Beouf Bourguignon and some other dishes for when we had guests here (and the day after they left), I was bingeing your YT shows from oldest to newest. Caught up today. It's been a delightful time. Thank you.
    I grew up watching Julia in her first runs and reruns (plus other chefs, such as Joyce Chen and Graham Kerr). It was later in life that I finally got her cookbooks. While I find them well-written (usually), at times, I'm glad that I had seen her technique on TV. I suspect you didn't have that advantage when you started out, but you have really mastered the art of French (and other types) of cooking. Plus, your persona on the shows is just so relatable. I'm a little depressed that I no longer have a reserve of your shows to watch, and I'll have to wait for the next one to be released (unless I view reruns, which I'm likely to do).
    Even though I've supposed watched all shows from oldest to newest, I suspect that YT has "hidden" some from me, such as your first attempt at aspic, which you've showed clips of. I'll have to hunt them down.
    Glad to see that you are up to 380k subscribers and climbing. I've recommended you to a few family and friends. (Including to my nephew's spouse, who is quite the cook as well. Their son is a blossoming cook at age 12. I'll let his mom decide how she wants to deal with the saltier language, especially earlier on when it wasn't bleeped much. But, they're not puritanical in their speech either, so it won't come as a surprise).

    Just stumbled across you and am enjoying your videos enormously. I just made Julia's boeuf bourgignon---whew! What a lot of steps! I've bought tomatoes and will make Marcella Hazan's famous sauce once I find the gnocchi recipe an old cook friend gave me years ago. I see you've dipped your toe into Italian, but can I vote for a deeper dive? I'm not young, and these Julia recipes take forever. Thanks. PS: My husband, who usually walks in and says, "Not another cooking show!" now sits down and watches you with me. That may not sound like much, but it is. 🙂

    For the skinning of salmon - my mom's trick as a flair on what's in the video, was to keep the salmon closer to the edge of the board/counter, whatever keeps the knife blade more parallel to the board, you don't get that little bit of waste on the skin near the knife hilt.

    Yeah...I was thinking it was a little rice-heavy for my taste being that it's in a pastry box. I am wondering if I could swing it with the phyllo sheets that I have in the freezer and use more salmon and less rice. 🤔
    * Two x-wide spatulas, positioned like the forks of a forklift, one each centered midway between the middle of the case and the end, lifting simultaneously might worked. And, yes, having an extra pair of hands there to help you plate it would have been welcomed.
