  • 0.4 oz mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley)
  • 0.4 oz sprouts

Sauce

    Season the salmon with salt, then lightly coat in potato starch.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the salmon for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  3. Step 3

    Combine sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring briefly to a simmer.

  4. Step 4

    Plate the salmon, arrange the shiso, mitsuba, and sprouts alongside, and drizzle the sauce over the top.
