　　This recipe for salted salmon is excerpted from Maori Murota’s Tokyo Cult Recipes. The method, called shioyaki, can be adapted to fish collars as well.

　　

Ingredients

Serves 4

　　4 salmon fillets—organic, if possible

　　4 teaspoons natural, unrefined coarse salt

　　3 cm (1¼ in) piece white radish (daikon), grated

　　

Step 1

Rub both sides of the salmon fillets with salt. Wrap in plastic wrap and leave to marinate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight. Unwrap the salmon fillets and wipe dry.

　　

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the salmon in a baking dish and bake for about 10 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Serve the salted salmon with the grated radish.
