Professional chef Yuji Haraguchi and home cook Daniel are swapping ingredients and hitting the kitchen to make a salmon dinner. We set Danial up with a whopping $513 worth of supplies for his attempt at Yuji's luxury recipe. Meanwhile, a modest $21 worth of ingredients was sent back the other way to be elevated into something gourmet by our esteemed pro. Will Daniel be able to keep up with Yuji's pro recipe? Will Yuji be able to take a humble salmon fillet and turn it into something gourmet?

Daniel admitting he did a poor filet job, but can we agree they did him dirty by having him filet a $350 dollar fish without a proper knife?!

I love their chemistry together. I don't remember seeing a Chef compliment the plating as sincerely as Yuji did.

Everyone talking about the bad fileting, but can we just agree that Dan's plating in the dish was immaculate? That's one of the best plates I've ever seen on this channel.

I don't know how it took me this long to realize Chef Yuji's restaurant is in the same city I live in. Just made a reservation and I can't wait.

I was really scared when he was butchering that fish... but when the pro was surprised by the quality of plating (which actually looked really nice!).... priceless.

That plating on Daniel's dish was so beautiful even Chef Yuji was impressed. Overall, two mouth-watering dishes!

Daniel is back! Yay! Also, we should always have mad respect for the skills of fishmongers.

Es la actitud alegre, jovial, honesta y siempre positiva de Daniel lo que le convierte en una estrella.

I've seen so many videos of these but everytime i wish we could also see them do the original recipes they had planned

That fileting of the salmon physically hurt my heart.
@ytnewhandlesystem42 14 days ago

ngl considering the effort they already put into this series, they didn't get ol' Rose to guide Dan on how to fillet or even just let him watch a youtube video on how to fillet so that he doesn't get blindsided

Chef Yuji's rice burger and especially the kakiage was so clever. Great way to get texture and extend a smaller portion of salmon.
