Instructions

1-Making crispy scallion ginger salmon at home: starts with prepping your ingredients and following a few easy steps to get that ideal crispy skin and flavorful sauce. Begin by lightly salting the 2 salmon fillets, which total 450g, and heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. This method ensures the salmon cooks evenly without sticking.

2-Cook the fillets: skin-side down for 4-7 minutes, avoiding too much movement to achieve crispiness, then flip and cook the other side for another 4-7 minutes until done. In the same pan, fry the 4 tablespoons of finely julienned ginger until crisp, add the 3 scallions sliced into 2-inch thin strips, and cook until they wilt. Mix together Β½ cup water, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, ΒΌ teaspoon sesame oil, and ΒΌ teaspoon salt, then add this to the pan and bring it to a boil before turning off the heat.

3-Serve the salmon: on a bed of rice, topped with the ginger and scallion mixture, pour the sauce over it, and garnish with Β½ cup chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
