nic bless your heart! looks great Im going to make this Wednesday night! My wife loves Salmon. One note, I think your incorrect about ATK free recipes??? Yours was yes, with an email, but when I went to see another recipe I get a pop-up that says "get access for 14 days free" Then there is a pay wall. Maybe Im missing something. Good luck at ATK I think you are going to increase my grocery bill !!! LOL

The recipes I share on ATK are free for you and my other subscribers (you will need to use the link I post). However, you can unsubscribe from ATK and resubscribe after 14 days if you want to access all their different recipes. And before I forget, thank you for your support. I appreciate it.

Congratulations on this great opportunity!!

Quick question for you regarding this recipe- if making 1/2 (or double) portion, does one need to change the amount of brine in proportion?

Nik Sharma's avatar

You want enough for the fish to be completely covered. For a half portion you can reduce the amount of brine by half. For a double portion use the original amount as long as the fish fits comfortably.

Thank you, Nik. The adjusted brine amounts are greatly appreciated!

I’ve got to try this! The baking soda brine technique sounds fantastic. Thank you and congratulations!

It's a game-changing technique for sea food and so worth the extra 15 minutes.

Hi Nik, very happy for your news 👏 Good luck with the new gig! Sadly, this recipe is now behind a paywall. I guess your news and learnings from American Test Kitchen will not be accessible to your Substack subscribers. Please, correct me if I am wrong. Warm wishes!

Wow !! Congratulations 🎉👏 You are a true inspiration to me. I have followed you since 2010 starting with your blog Brown Table. when I was new to baking and was mesmerized by your style of photography. There was no representation for someone like me in this food space so I really looked upto you. You showed me that you can be in engineering or science background and still do something different ,break barriers to find something we love. Wishing you much more success. You have brought me lot of joy and loads of inspiration.
