Instructions Of Japanese Salmon (Healthy Heart)
- Combine all the ingredients except the oil in a ziplock bag, remove as much air as possible and marinate overnight (or at least 3 hours).
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add salmon skin down, cook 2 to 3 minutes until crisp.
- Check the skin to make sure it doesn’t cook too quickly – if it does, lower the heat and / or briefly remove the pan from the stove to allow the temperature to drop.
- Drizzle the rest of the marinade in the ziplock bag on the flesh side. Flip and cook the flesh side for 2 minutes, or as desired.
- I like medium salmon, so the inside is very moist and just cooked.
- Rest for a few minutes, remembering that the salmon will continue to cook during rest, then serve.
