This recipe
brings another great taste to salmon. Although fatty salmon can be eaten
raw, this vinegar based recipe gives salmon a rich, delicate tangy
flavor. For best results, purchase a block of the underbelly part of the
king salmon or Atlantic salmon (‘sunazuri’ in Japanese). The block
should contain some fat.

|
Purchase a block (‘saku’) of salmon that
contains fat. |
|
Cover each side of the salmon block with
a lot of salt. Keep it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. |
|
Quickly rinse off most, but not all,
salt from the salmon block with cold tap water. |
|
Marinate the salmon block in rice
vinegar for 15 minutes. The vinegar should cover the salmon block. To
conserve vinegar, turn in a Ziploc bag to marinate. Remove salmon and
wipe rice vinegar from the salmon block with paper towels. |
|
Sear each surface of the salmon block
with a culinary torch. Then keep it in the refrigerator until ready to
cut and serve. |
|
Slice into pieces one cm thick, and serve
chilled with wasabi and soy sauce. Garnish with ooba herb leaves and
julienned daikon. |
