Sockeye Salmon “Agedashi” style and A Cooking Class

Posted on Jan 7, 2015 in Hiroko's Blog

salmonI ordered frozen Sockeye salmon from Vital Choice last year. Very good quality. I steamed most of them and served at our big family dinner with home-made miso mayo sauce at the end of last year. I baked some of the leftover in the oven five days ago. I skillet cooked the other leftover over the stove top two days ago. For the remaining two pieces of salmon I needed to do something different. This is how I chose: salmon cooked in the Japanese “agedashi” method. Agedashi is a dish in which we coat ingredient with potato starch, fry it in the oil and serve it in fully flavored dashi broth. Even though the ingredients are deep-fried, dashi removes oiliness from the deep-fried ingredients, so the resulting bite in Agedashi dish is lean and clean. Just deep-frying salmon in oil is a bit “non-creative”, so I created this rolled up version.
