Nice! ~24 hrs?

Yep!

You won’t go back. It gets even better after 2-3 days!

Best salt type/shape to use? I just grabbed what I had in the kitchen.

Preferably coarse. I just use Morton’s Kosher salt for most things these days, including steaks. Kenji Lopez-Alt has a detailed write up on salt types (and also some great guides on dry brining). He is normally my go-to for food science topics.

👀 I honestly have never thought to dry brine fish. Definitely report back if you do this!

COMING SOON!!

(To the bitcoin carnivores: don't let this steak deceive you; I'm normally a salmon maxi)

dat broccoli tho! 🤩

I **am** a cast iron maxi at least!

(though ready to experiment with carbon steel next)

is that just a dry rub you leave overnight?

Literally just salt. And yes, uncovered in the fridge for 24hrs. Supposed to be better in every possible way. We'll see.
