Salmon Ochazuke 鮭茶漬け

Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 pc Palm-sized salmon fillet
  • sachet Quality dashi pack
  • 500 ml Water
  • Vegetables of your choice
  • Bonito flakes optional
  • 1 bowl Cooked rice

Instructions

  • Preheat your toaster oven to 250 °C. Place the salmon on parchment paper and grill for 7–8 minutes, aiming for a browned exterior while keeping the inside tender. Alternatively, you can pan-sear the salmon skin-side down on high heat for about 4 minutes.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven or pan and allow it to cool slightly. Once manageable, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a small pot, bring 500 ml of water to a boil, add the dashi pack, and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes.
  • Steam your vegetables: 5 minutes for firmer vegetables like carrots and broccoli stems, or 2–3 minutes for leafy greens.
  • To assemble, place cooked rice in a bowl, top with flaked salmon and steamed vegetables, and pour over the hot dashi.
  • Sprinkle some bonito flakes on top for an extra burst of flavour.
