S4E15 · Authentic Japanese Cooking: Shallow-fried Salmon Fillets

Our theme this episode is grilling. We'll be using a popular ingredient, salmon, to make shallow-fried salmon. We'll marinate it in a delicious sauce, then sprinkle it with sesame seeds and ao-nori powder and fry it in a small amount of oil. For our side, we'll also be making a salad with firm octopus, crisp celery, and our chef's secret-recipe ume dressing for a light and refreshing Japanese flavor. Finally, we'll talk about the many versatile ways that salmon is used throughout Japan, from shio-yaki grilled in salt to sashimi, sushi, hotspots, and more.
