Description
This Kewpie-glazed salmon features a sweet and savory Japanese-inspired glaze, with options for both baking or pan-frying the salmon to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (each around 6 oz)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 cup kewpie mayo
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
For Pan-Frying:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, kewpie mayo, dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Dice the salmon fillets into two-inch cubes. Place the diced salmon into the bowl of marinade, using a spoon to thoroughly coat each cube in the sauce.
- Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, for better flavor absorption.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of oil or butter to coat the pan. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon cubes, skin-side down if applicable.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through. If you prefer a slightly crispier texture, you can cook the salmon a bit longer. Serve immediately with the glaze from the marinade.
For Baking:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prep a baking sheet with a coating of oil or butter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, kewpie mayo, dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Dice the salmon fillets into two-inch cubes. Place the diced salmon into the bowl of marinade, using a spoon to thoroughly coat each cube in the sauce.
- Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, for better flavor absorption.
- Bake the salmon on the prepped baking sheet in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- After baking, switch to the broiler setting and broil for an additional 2 minutes to get a slightly caramelized, crispy top. Remove from the oven, garnish if desired, and serve!
