Japanese salmon breakfast

Salted salmon, or shiozake (often shortened to shake), is a staple of the Japanese breakfast table and has been since time immemorial. This recipe approximates the flavor and texture of Japanese salted salmon by curing the salmon and letting it rest in the refrigerator on paper towels overnight.

This salmon dish only requires three ingredients that you can easily find in your pantry. Because this dish is more on the saltier side, you’ll want to have extra rice on hand because you’ll probably be going back for more!

Japanese salted salmon is a classic breakfast dish, commonly served with rice and miso soup. Made with fresh salmon fillets and seasoned simply with salt, the fact that you only need two ingredients almost makes this dish too good to be true! Here, I will share all the tips to make it perfect every time.
