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.
