Instructions
- 1
Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 2
In a small bowl, whisk together yuzu juice, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create the glaze.
~2 min - 3
Heat 0.5 cup of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced shallots and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
~5 min - 4
Remove the crispy shallots from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Reserve the frying oil.
~1 min - 5
Add the salmon cubes to the same frying pan (with the reserved oil, adding more if needed to coat the bottom) over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon on all sides until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper.
~8 min - 6
Pour the yuzu glaze over the seared salmon. Stir gently to coat the salmon cubes evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the salmon.
~3 min - 7
Arrange the glazed salmon bites on a serving plate. Sprinkle generously with the crispy fried shallots.
~1 min
Tips
- For extra crispiness on the shallots, ensure they are sliced very thinly and evenly. You can also adjust the heat to medium to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture. The salmon is best enjoyed hot, with the shallots providing a contrasting crunch.
