This book has lived with me since 2019. Years of thinking about nature, science, and cooking—and how they come together through flavor. I’m proud to finally share the cover with you. More soon. @chroniclebooks.bsky.social

The Secret to Juicy, Flavor-Packed Tandoori Salmon | Flavor Forward

YouTube video by America's Test Kitchen

Nik Sharma @niksharma.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

Ever wonder how to get tandoori-style smoky salmon without a tandoor?  I use the oven’s broiler to mimic that char but the secret isn’t just heat, it’s chemistry. A quick baking-soda brine changes the salmon’s surface pH, tightening proteins just enough to keep it juicy under high heat.

Thanks to @niksharma.bsky.social , we’re big fans of glazing with a mixture of ketchup, sugar, pomegranate molasses, cayenne, and amchur. (From p. 167 of his first book, Season.) We’ve branched out a bit over the years, swapping the sour elements with tamarind concentrate, sumac, black lime, etc.
