Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will help ensure a crispy exterior when cooking.
- Heat a cast iron pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil (or any cooking oil) and sesame oil into the pan together, enough to coat the bottom, about 2 tablespoons.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, into the hot iron skillet. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the skin is crispy and browned.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Gently handle the fillets to avoid them falling apart. Now add the light soy sauce.
- Continue to cook the salmon until it reaches your desired level of tenderness. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when it's done.
- Last, sprinkle a pinch of dashi powder over the salmon fillets. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the hibachi salmon as a main course alongside your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, fried rice, or a fresh salad.
