Serves 10

INGREDIENTS

1 whole fillet salmon 

60ml mirin

60ml Kikoman soy sauce

2 tbsp sugar

25g corn flour

salt and pepper for seasoning

1/2 packet of nori flakes 

5 spring onions

1/2 box of cherry tomatoes

1/2 packet of ready salad mix

*Ingredients all available at Fairprice

DIRECTIONS

- Preheat oven at 55 deg C.

1. COOK THE FISH

- Place whole salmon fillet on baking tray. 

- Place the fish in the oven and cook for about 45min (smaller fillets should take a shorter time). Be sure to keep an eye out on it.

2. MAKE THE SAUCE

- Bring the Kikkoman soy sauce, mirin, and the sugar to a boil in a pot and slowly add the corn flour to help thicken the mix. Set the sauce aside.

3. SERVE

- The salmon fillet should still look uncooked. The best way to tell if a salmon fillet is done is by sticking the blunt end of your cutlery in the middle of the fillet. It should slide in cleanly.

- Once the fish is done, drizzle the sauce over the fish and top with a generous amount of nori flakes and spring onions.
