Ingredients
Salmon Belly
- 1 lb salmon belly cuts cleaned and patted dry
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp mirin optional
- 1 tbsp cooking oil for pan-frying
Garnish
- green onions chopped
- lemon zest
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and mirin (if using). Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the salmon belly cuts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat cooking oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon belly pieces skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- Flip the salmon belly pieces and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove from the pan and place on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
Notes
For a healthier version, consider using an air fryer set at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, grill the marinated salmon belly over medium heat for a smoky flavor. Serve with steamed rice, quinoa salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
