Will do

The Alton Brown TV episode is better. There is stirring involved.

This on is good too.

I typically make stove top roux’s, but can attest to the goodness and ease of stove top ones also. Haven’t used AB’s however.

Looks yummy and easier than standing there stirring for so long!

Meant to say upthread can attest to the goodness and ease of OVEN ROUXS too. Brain/hand malfunction - oops! :upside_down_face:

A couple of dinners from the tail end of January. Beef Stroganoff (beef tenderloin) and Green Bean and Pork Stir Fry (pork tenderloin) Both were really good. :yum:

@ChristinaM I was looking for salmon recipes and see “carmelized salmon” mentioned on HO a few times, by you and I think @TheCookie ; maybe others.

I found the instant pot recipe on NYT, and I wondered, along with several commentors, about what the Instant Pot adds. Do you use an Instant Pot for this? Do you think it would it work for one inch thick skinless filets if I wanted medium rare/translucent salmon?

My answer might be here. I see it is "less aromatic "!

This recipe you linked in that extremely helpful response seems the same as the one in NYT, and no paywall!

This is what I’m working with.

Nah. They’d get super overcooked. Pan is the way to go.

ETA: they look more like 2-3"? Here’s what I’d do - follow the IP recipe, but when the 1 min countdown actually starts (it takes some time to come up to pressure), immediately quick release pressure. So, in essence, don’t pressure cook it - remove just when it starts. If they’re underdone you can always “saute” until desired temp.

Nice. I’d like to try it on pressed tofu, too.

Thanks again! Hopefully you are sharing tonight’s meal on the current WFD. I’ve got kabocha squash AND cooked chicpeas to use.

@shrinkrap Too late for tonight, but I’ve only ever made Viet Caramel Fish / Chicken stovetop, and MC has an earlier stovetop recipe.

This recipe separates the caramel sauce so there isn’t fish sauce boiling down along with the sugar like the all-in-one version. (Add the aromatics after and finish with the fish sauce.)

Thank you! I am so intrigued by Vietnamese caramel recipes. There will always be more salmon ( I hope).

I use that recipe for the sauce. Incredible. The salmon I sear or broil then pour on the sauce. :slight_smile:
