I know I said it a million times in the video but a little acidity goes a long way in a creamy sauce like this 👍

@dh1380 11 месяцев назад

Oh hell yeah just a little suttin to cut through. I don't like super creamy stuff without some acid to balance. I love acid. Acid. Acid. (Niche techno music reference). These recipes always taste bland to me without some citrus or vinegar or something. My staple cupboard ingredient is always lemon juice. They usually taste of fat and salt which to be fair is enough for a lot of people who don't really take the time and effort to educate their own pallate. (Sounding up myself now so I'll end there).

@thewetwombat7726 11 месяцев назад

I always make Tuscan salmon. I use sundried tomatoes and sweat out abit of tomato paste at the start which adds that acid element. Chuck in some white wine and a dash of chicken stock for the base of the sauce and it’s genuinely the nicest home cooked meal i have ever created and it’s so simple

I tried a very similar one, no onion, add fresh basil. Best use of my fresh basil plant I've ever found.

@tammyschilling5362 9 месяцев назад

It looks pretty good. I'm sure you're right about the acidity. For myself, I also like to add a pretty good amount of black pepper or a small amount of a "hot pepper" (flakes or cayenne or something) because I find heavy cream things can taste a little flat.

@rmarcphillips821 10 месяцев назад

I tried this one, I altered it a bit with what I had available, I used a coconut/almond cream rather than regular, and all I buy is french butter. I'm in the Caribbean, the local butter freaking sucks. I thought it ended up a little too sweet, but my audience, my wife, kids and her friend liked it. I served it over some little curved disks of artisianal pasta... no idea what kind, just thought it looked neat. Mine filled up an 18" sauce pan. I ballbarked measurements, used your suggestions. I went to bed, nieces and nephews showed up later, and finished it all off. They always know I cook on the weekends. My eldest neice stayed over and gave me a hug the next morning. Told me it was the best pasta she'd ever had. A little dramatic, but it happened.

Hey man! I love your stuff! It might be an overdone RU-vid food thing at this point, but might I suggest you actually *do* go along with your suggestions and substitutions. I feel like a core part of your channel is showing how easy cooking can be, and showing how small changes can really elevate viral dishes would really bolster that. Like keeping on the skin and cutting off the bottom part of the salmon wouldn't inherently change the recipe, but it's something good to try, and folks may want to see how the skin would come out or how you would do it! I really do love your stuff, we just want to learn and see your skills!

You are right on that I read a ton of recipes online and my pet peeve is when someone leaves a comment saying I made this recipe but instead of this I used that, you said to add this much but I used this amount etc. etc. Well then you didn’t make the recipe you made your own recipe!

@dustinsirois4788 11 месяцев назад

Nah for sure leave skin on and just finish cooking in sauce skin side up. I also agree with your Wine take and lemon. I think that would elevate the flavor of the sauce greatly and maintaining the crispy skin gives the dish the textural contrast it is missing.

Eye brow tweezers for pin boning and holding the skin for removing. Use the ones with finger loops makes it so easy. New Zealand here we Love our fish. Salmon au gratin is my go to, Poach prepared fish( no bone, no skin) in water with a bit of lemon juice/ or a hint of wine, when just cooked, Drain off all water, GRATE cheese onto fish, place under Grill and remove when cheese is brown to your taste. Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy.. Use the Cheese that YOU LOVE that'll work Best.. Cheers from Chch, New Zealand....

@joeblack4436 11 месяцев назад

Personally. Although taste differs. I wouldn't remove fish skin from cuts that have them before frying. Are they nuts? I mean... Crispy fried fish skin that has absorbed all the flavours from spices, herbs and other seasoning and underwent some of it's own caramelisation alchemy... That's the real MVP of a fried fish dish. It's the perfect interface to maintain the delicate consistency and flavours of the meat when frying. And grilling too.

@virtualchoirboy_mc 11 месяцев назад

This is a lot like a recipe I follow for Tuscan Butter Shrimp except with salmon. Sautee the shrimp in butter, remove, sautee halved cherry tomatoes adding extra butter if needed, once they pop, add cream and Parmesan, simmer then add spinach, after spinach wilts, add shrimp back in to warm up then serve over pasta. Some versions also call for chopped fresh basil with the spinach. I skip the basil, add lemon juice, lemon zest, and white wine with the spinach. It's a family favorite.

@arthurwalls9091 11 месяцев назад

Another great video and most of your tips & clues are spot on ..... But , some are not ...Such as the doneness of spinach , everyone does not appreciate the texture or the taste of raw or barely blanched spinach & much prefer it to be fully cooked ( this of course is subjective & all up to personal tastes ) ... Also your All Parmesan cheese thing , I think two different cheeses are better for levels of taste ... First roughly grated cheese could be grated from a block of Pepper Jack to elevate & to give another level of brightness to the dish & Yes please do add grated parmesan , maybe just a little more than the Pepper Jack to not let the Pepper Jack overpower & dominate & with that said even though I Love Black Pepper Don't add any so they don't compete with each other & overshadow the rest of the dish ... And Yes by all mean Do add some fresh lemon juice ... I know you're a fresh seasoning & spice guy , but everyone doesn't keep them stocked , especially in these new & trying days ... So why don't you give a little nod to some like telling ppl that if they don't have fresh garlic to smash , it may not be best scenario but it's okay to use minced garlic or even dried garlic powder as substitute ...Some viewers will follow recipes to the T & if they don't have exactly what it calls for will Opt for leaving it out altogether which does not end as well as it would with a minor substitution ..... Otherwise , Good Job , Great Video ...👍👍👋

The first cheese is emmental cheese. There will be comments saying its "gratin mix" or "pizza mix" or grated gouda but its not. All these types are common in german stores, sold in little bags pre-grated. And this one is grated emmental cheese. Compared to gouda the shavings are more rectangular shaped and slightly translucent.
