Salmon and pesto sound like a winner. At home, we do not use pesto but spinachs, a white rice and heated fresh cream mixed with a bit of lemon juice as a sauce. But we will certainly give a shot to pesto.

Many thanks to you KQED for continuing to give us more of this sweet man. Please post more 25 min. shows. Thanks

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Quick, simple, and delicious, what's not to like!

[@kqed]

We agree!

[@lees5073]

I think this is happening for Good Friday for my husband and me. Thanks Chef!

[@pieman3141]

I like this series. All the ingredients, tools, etc. are reasonably accessible for any home cook.

[@bootman26]

Your rock, Jaques! So easy, so simple. Turning the narrow tip of the filet back to create an even thickness is a great tip that I can use with any meat of varying thickness.

[@FrankPetersonIII]

Thank you, Jacques!

[@Darcova]

I love you Jaques. You're a Saint. Keep being you my man, you do us all a favor. Everything you do is a genuine treat and I love watching it. Happy holidays, and be well my friend.

[@ssteeneck]

Looks great! Can't wait to try it.

[@ColinOHiggins]

I love this man.

[@chocolocojames213]

Another great utilization of pesto. Jacques is a genius chef 😊😊😊

[@davidfromtexas9681]

That looks delicious. I will try this except with a larger piece of Salmon! Thanks Jacques!

[@zedbou5040]

Yes, nothing's ever big enough for Americans is it.

[@chrisandersen5635]

Lovely and simple yet delicious.

[@williamwilliams7706]

Looks good, and easy to prepare too.

[@jumbomills1319]

Salt just falls from his fingers. Pro chef 😊

[@mayonnaiseeee]

Wonderful! I sometimes do something similar with salmon, but I'll give the butter only 5-10 seconds so it's softened, not broken/melted, then mash things into it (pesto, garlic, lemon zest, honey, spices, herbs, anything you want within reason) and spread it on the salmon either before baking/air frying or after an initial few minutes. I haven't tried the method in this video where you cook the salmon to your liking and then top with a melted butter mixture but I love how easy it is, will have to give it a shot 😊

[@user-xl4zr1xw1o]

This man is my muse!

[@mark-ib7sz]

Simple but excellent !!

[@BlackMaskCook]

It definitely tastes delicious💕

I just watched a video on farm raised salmon. Those big thick white lines say it is farm raised. 🐟

Thank you, Chef! Looks so delicious! Love you! 💚

[@gs637]

Looks good, thanks!

[@roncaruso931]

I like mine more cooked. Great simple and delicious dish.

[@ratholin]

yeah, me too but luckily it's an easy to adjust recipe.

[@bootman26]

Jacques always mentions he likes his salmon medium and his wife likes it rare. Julia Child liked it cooked through. Jacques says to always cook your food to the preferences of your guests.

[@roncaruso931]

@EternalFootman-kr6yx Apparently, lots of people care. I've gotten many likes. You have a closed mind. Well, that is if you have a brain.

Good idea. We love steelhead

[@user-vc1nt1kp2n]

everyone loves this dude, and I do too but everything in his kitchen is cross contaminated haha. You never see him wash his hands between touching raw meat and the rest of his bottles and herbs haha. No one here is complaining like you would in other videos from non-white cooks. haha

[@pieman3141]

Yeah, I'm not a fan. I don't make an effort to be super clean all the time, but raw meat prep is always the last step for me, when everything else has been prepped and in bowls ready to go.

[@OngoGablogian185]

Raw salmon drizzled in store-bought pesto. Would love to try this but I'm not sure my cooking skills are up to scratch.

[@kqed]

There are many reputable culinary institutions out there if you ever want to refine your skills.

[@joedecristoforo5434]

Wait how old is this video? Is that a new espresso machine i see in the back?

[@kqed]

The Cooking at Home videos are all recent. He started making them during the pandemic.

[@Farlig69]

Too rare for me too, I bang whole 1-1.5" salmon steaks / slices (bone in) in at 250°C for not one second more than 10 mins and they are spot on.

[@dianejohnson1375]

New episodes of yan can cook season 6

[@roncaruso931]

Yan can't compare to a master chef like Jaques. Go away.

Oregano with basil..🤨

Jacques tired. It shows up in his movements. 😢

[@kqed]

He's 88 and still has more pep than most of us though .

Thats not cooked.

Jacques has been a world class chef longer than you've been alive

You need to live.

The salmon is raw🤮

Salmon can be rare.

Dear god the cross contamination.

The guy eats for himself. Like your so perfect in the kitchen. LOL. Jacques is 87 years old. I think he knows what he is doing.

[@joannaedwards6325]

Braised toast You must be very young. People who criticize famous persons are just trying to feel better about their little selves. Don't watch if you don't like Chef Pepin.

[@Armelleee]

Are you eating it?

@@joannaedwards6325 I don't idolize anyone to the point that they're immune to criticism. He's most definitely a great chef. He's teaching poor practices here though.
