Japanese Grilled Salmon Recipe

by

You can use this flavorful salmon with crispy skin as a filling for rice balls, in a bento lunchbox, or as the healthy focal point of a traditional Japanese breakfast by following the directions in this simple Japanese Salted Salmon (Shiozake/Shiojake) recipe.

Although I have many favorite fish and seafood dishes, Japanese Salted Salmon (Shiozake or Shiojake) has to be one of the most traditional grilled fish we enjoy of all time because it is surrounded by the ocean, which has been a major source of protein for the Japanese people for centuries.

You only need 3 basic ingredients to make this recipe at home, and the natural richness and charred flavor of the grilled salmon are simply wonderful to eat as part of breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
