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.
I love so much seeing Sohla soar after all the mess at *the other place that ought not be named*. She deserves every moment in the limelight--she is so thoughtful, charismatic, and I always (always!) learn so darn much.
@@heyitsmeshazSohla used to be an editor at Bon Appetit. Right around the start of COVID it came out that BA was exhibiting unfair employment practices (underpaid minorities, genders, etc.). Most people left and have gone on to do their own thing.
I'm a former vegetarian turned pescatarian, so the timing on this episode is perfect for me. I actually tried cooking salmon for the first time last week. Thankfully it was edible, but I definitely have a lot to learn. 😅
FYI: The curry she used is from Trinidad 🇹🇹called ‘CHIEF’ (I recognize that packaging anywhere) NOT Jamaican. We aren’t the same major difference in curry between the islands! Love you Sohla 🧡
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.
I do like that Sohla goes through how to buy fish, especially when talking to a fish monger or butcher. It's so intimidating not knowing what to ask for, and I don't want to take up too much time when there's people waiting behind me.
as a certified fish hater who is trying to learn to like fish, im excited to try these recipes esp the curry and learn to be less intimidated. Thanks Sohla! 🐟❤
Dry brining salmon is a total game changer, but I usually dry brine mine overnight. I started doing it after Kenji wrote about it and never looked back
Agreed dry brining is outstanding. Not sure why she washed the fish and then salted again. Dry brining doesn’t necessarily mean you have over salted the fish.
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!
@14:35 when Sohla says "make it pretty for your beauties" I know she's talking to the producers about the closeup shots, but it sort of sounds like she's talking about the people she's serving the food to haha. Enjoy the food my beauties!!
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.
It’s sad that family members or friends keep bringing up old failures or miss steps. Again and again?? What??? They never ventured anything?? And maybe had a failure?? That’s how people keep you in _your place_ ….. _keep you off balance_ . It makes me sad and mad all at once. I feel for you.
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! 👍
This is a great series. Just about as complex as I can handle right now, and teaching me to take it to the next level. Excited to make the tacos for the first time!
I made Sam Sifton’s fish tacos last night! It was so weird watching Sohla do things I was doing just 24 hours ago. Also funny that this was one of the first recipes I saved when NYT Cooking came out (2014-ish) and last night was the first time I actually tried it.
so right! I have salmon thawing in the fridge right now and was wishing I knew how to get it perfectly cooked but not overcooked. Now I know (thanks Sohla!).
I appreciate the education about shopping for fish, always used frozen. xD Also, I am surprised about using frozen fish directly from the freezer to the pan! I learned so much, thank you Sohla and NYT crew! :D
I want to like Salmon, I really do! I keep trying recipes and ways to cook it and just can't get it right. I'll try this easy method and hope for the best! Thanks Sohla!
Thanks for this Sohla. My family thrives on cooking fish & that gene skipped me. I need all the help I can get! 😅 I want to try the brine for salmon & all of the other recipes 🎉😊. Love your chicken 101 video too 😉
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.
she's really not, far from it, just look up how she ruined the lives of all of her coworkers because she volunteered for a video and then later thought she would just be magically compensated for her good will. she sucks at cooking and she's clearly an idiot, can't really think of anything positive to say about someone so toxic.
an interesting thing i heard about sushi grade fish is that theres no such thing.. i heard that if you want sushi grade fish then make sure its frozen.. i also heard that nematodes can survive freezing so i dont know what to believe.. ive also watched a lot of high end sushi market fish videos where they process the most choice tunas in japan and literally just slice them up and from there take them to the restaurant and proceed to cut them into nigiri.. sushi.. grade.. literally fish cut from a fish and made into sushi.. sushi grade..
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.
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.
I actually didn't know fishmongers elsewhere would clean fish for me. The ones I shop with at Sydney fish market don't (but maybe they were just too busy when I asked).

@@nathangregg1765GOOD FOR HER! I hate such companies and try to avoid patronizing them.
@@nathangregg1765 Food52 is next BA? It's giving questionable vibrations....
What happened? Did I miss something????
Sohla is amazing and this series needs to be as many chapters as possible. I want to dry brine my brain with her experience.
Salty!
.......she's really quite mediocre
I always wait for you to say "Wow, we did it." so that I feel like we ABSOLUTELY did it. Mahalo for the amazing vids

thank you for pointing this out!
Thanks! I have CHIEF brand (and Betapack too ;)) They definitely do taste different.
The more you know 👍🏾
Sohla somehow manages to bridge high-level skills and a simple understanding of food and flavours. What a master!

I love her thinking process, go with the flow and what u know. She's great. Enjoyed this.
Dry brining salmon is a total game changer, but I usually dry brine mine overnight. I started doing it after Kenji wrote about it and never looked back
Same. The first time I dry brined Salmon, it felt like I was cooking with an entirely new protien.
Agreed dry brining is outstanding. Not sure why she washed the fish and then salted again. Dry brining doesn’t necessarily mean you have over salted the fish.
Wonderful video for those who want to cook fish but are afraid! Sohla's charm and easy instructions make these recipes look doable. Bravo!

19:15 I'm a bass player and this moment was so satisfying!
No business going that hard in a random fish frying scene
The comments about fine dining cracked me up. Flipping the plate over is so on point 🤣
This was exactly the video I needed!! Love this series so much 💖💖💖
Sohla is a fantastic teacher. This entire series of hers is really great. Please keep them coming.
@14:35 when Sohla says "make it pretty for your beauties" I know she's talking to the producers about the closeup shots, but it sort of sounds like she's talking about the people she's serving the food to haha. Enjoy the food my beauties!!
Sohla genuinely an incredible chef but breaks down how to do things super simple for the audience. Love watching her videos.

What kind of paper are you using?? I just did this in mine with zero problems
Imagine a Sohla SIMP burning parchment paper........
this is the best series! love sohla-instant click whenever I see her or Ham
She's just wonderful. Great and super accessible fish dishes ❤
I'm an afishionado! Love hearing the crew laugh in the background.
They are scared she will call them racist if they don't laugh along....
Love Sohla and this series! More please🙏
New Word Day!
"Vegetalness"
Never heard it before, but I know exactly what it means.
English Lessons with Sohla!
I make a fish curry like this all the time! For affordability and packing in veggies I would also recommend carrots alongside bell peppers :)
This was much needed. I had an awful fish experience when I first cooked for my boyfriend. I haven't heard the end of the "rubber fish" incident.
It’s sad that family members or friends keep bringing up old failures or miss steps. Again and again??
What??? They never ventured anything?? And maybe had a failure??
That’s how people keep you in _your place_ ….. _keep you off balance_ . It makes me sad and mad all at once.
I feel for you.
Clear eyes, bright scales, can't lose.
I think she said “bright red gills” and “scales are tightly attached”, but well played nonetheless 🏈 📅💡💡
i’ve never been so early to one of these but always enjoy sohla content 😊 such great information and advice!
Omg, I just discovered Sohla! I can wait to try these, I’m officially going down the Sohla rabbit hole!
loving this series. She has to do more of such series, I've been learning so much!
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! 👍
Thank you Sohla! I’m always inspired after these videos!!
This series has been great. I bought your book for my son but I'm learning so much from it, myself!
Another inspiring and very well produced video from NYTimes cooking! Keep em coming for many many years!

@@SuperTinyTurtle Who, me? 🤖🤣
I love Sohla and this series is fantastic! I am going to make all these recipes. Her food is always delicious and I learn so much from her.

We bought a case of wild caught salmon and have been looking for different ways to cook it. This video comes out right on time ❤
One of my favorite way is papillote style. Super quick and easy, with lots of olive oil, garlic and tons of herbs!
Hi, still asking for proper closed captions. the auto generated ones always have errors and omissions and are insufficient and inaccessible.
I love these Cooking 101 chapters with Sohla!! I learned a lot from the chicken one, excited to learn more with this fish one!
the episode i really really needed!!!
so right! I have salmon thawing in the fridge right now and was wishing I knew how to get it perfectly cooked but not overcooked. Now I know (thanks Sohla!).
I made the Coconut curry fish tonight and it was bomb! It was EASY, FAST & tasted DELICIOUS! Thanks Sohla. 😊❤
Love Sohla’s voice and mannerisms.
I was just checking today to see if a new Sohla video came out. The Universe and NTY Cooking answering prayers.
I appreciate the education about shopping for fish, always used frozen. xD Also, I am surprised about using frozen fish directly from the freezer to the pan! I learned so much, thank you Sohla and NYT crew! :D
"We got sizzlage!" You're so adorable!
this series has changed my culinary habits SO much
Thank you, Sohla! I'm feeling ready now to take on some fillets!
The salmon dip looks simply delicious!
I want to like Salmon, I really do! I keep trying recipes and ways to cook it and just can't get it right. I'll try this easy method and hope for the best! Thanks Sohla!
Live watching you cook. Such a delight! And i learn so much
Thanks for this Sohla. My family thrives on cooking fish & that gene skipped me. I need all the help I can get! 😅 I want to try the brine for salmon & all of the other recipes 🎉😊. Love your chicken 101 video too 😉
Sohla is basically my internet mom at this point as far as cooking goes lol
Sohla is a great teacher!! Another thoughtfully put together lesson!
I gave this video a like just based on Sohla’s joke alone. Plus, I know it’ll be great bc she’s such a pleasure to watch❤
the curry fish looks so simple and delicious
Great video...wonderful. Really good Sohla!!
On my way to watch Rice 101 now! (Woohoo!)
everything looks tasty and doable.
That dip looks amazing 🤤
Excellent interview, so many gems was dropped!
I don't eat fish, but Sohla is the best, so I'm watching this video for her :)
These all look so good! The dip sounds soo good! It would be fun to try tarragon instead of dill. Tarragon + salmon are 🎉
i see sohla i click watch save to favorite 😆👏🏽

Halibut, especially, is sublime when cooked to "just past raw," and turns in seconds to a dry, fibrous mass when cooked longer.
She's literally the best
loving this series. sohla is the best!
she's really not, far from it, just look up how she ruined the lives of all of her coworkers because she volunteered for a video and then later thought she would just be magically compensated for her good will. she sucks at cooking and she's clearly an idiot, can't really think of anything positive to say about someone so toxic.
I'm allergic to fish but watching for Sohla!
Never would've thought of a salmon leftovers dip, great idea!
Here for Sohla ❤
an interesting thing i heard about sushi grade fish is that theres no such thing.. i heard that if you want sushi grade fish then make sure its frozen.. i also heard that nematodes can survive freezing so i dont know what to believe.. ive also watched a lot of high end sushi market fish videos where they process the most choice tunas in japan and literally just slice them up and from there take them to the restaurant and proceed to cut them into nigiri.. sushi.. grade.. literally fish cut from a fish and made into sushi.. sushi grade..
I love her. I want to try all of these now though, arghhh

Room to groove with salmon - words to live by.
Yess an other Sohla video!!
0:33 terrible pun I love it 10/10
Now I am hungry!
Thank you Sohla, for being competent, expert and also a little helplessly funny in the face of challenges.
Sohla's a great human ❤

My husband insists salmon only goes on the grill. I will have to get him to try this salmon recipe. It looks great.
I actually didn't know fishmongers elsewhere would clean fish for me. The ones I shop with at Sydney fish market don't (but maybe they were just too busy when I asked).
I’d really love to know where the serving dishes are from 👀 That plate was perfect for curry!
the second fish dish resembles brazilian moqueca a lot, same processes and everything. it takes red palm oil for color instead of turmeric though.
solha, you seem so likeable and genuine and sincere; i enjoy your videos and recipes.
love Sohla yes
Sohla is a treasure.
Would love to know how Sohla makes that delicious-looking homemade salsa.
More Sohla!! ❤️
Sohla is the best.
The cuke salad!
That's a beautiful fish shop!
Wow very nice recipes❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you chef
Omg the dip!!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤 so good
I LOVE THIS WOMAN AND HER HUSBAND!!!!!
Thank you Sohla! This is just what I needed
