Pan-Fried Salmon

Cooking time: 20 minutes (excluding marinating time)

Servings: (Serves 2)

  • Ingredients

    • Fresh salmon fillets: 2 fillets
    • Shio koji (a Japanese seasoning made from fermented rice, salt, and water): 2 1/2 tablespoons
    • Vegetable oil: 2 teaspoons
    • Assorted vegetables for garnish: as needed

  • Preparation

    • Pat the surface of the salmon dry and coat it with shio koji. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
    • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the salmon for 5 minutes. Flip the salmon, reduce to low heat, cover with a lid, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
    • Serve on a plate with assorted vegetables.

Notes

If shio koji is unavailable, you can substitute with a mixture of salt and a little sugar, although the flavor will differ.
