Delightful Salmon Donburi: A Simple Homemade Recipe
Easy and Delicious Salmon Donburi Recipe
I absolutely love salmon and often cook it at home. Today, we’re making a flavorful salmon donburi that’s sure to whet your appetite. The combination of tender salmon, a sweet and tangy sauce, and crisp vegetables makes for a wonderful meal.
Main Ingredients- 1 pack fresh salmon fillet (approx. 200-250g)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 handful scallions (about 10-15 stalks)
- Fresh wasabi, to taste (optional)
Special Soy Sauce Dressing- 6 Tbsp soy sauce
- 5 Tbsp water
- 2.5 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 6 Tbsp soy sauce
- 5 Tbsp water
- 2.5 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the onion and wash it thoroughly. Then, slice it into the thinnest possible julienne strips. Thinly sliced onions absorb the sauce better and provide a pleasant texture.
Step 2
Wash the scallions, trim the roots, and finely chop them. These will add a lovely aroma.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir well to mix. Place over low heat and stir gently with a wooden spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the julienned onion and cook until the onions turn translucent and slightly tender, about 3-5 minutes. Once the onions are cooked, turn off the heat and let them cool slightly to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Pat the fresh salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Then, slice it thinly into bite-sized pieces (about 1-1.5 cm thick). Slicing too thickly can make it difficult to eat with the rice.
Step 5
Serve warm, cooked rice in a bowl. Generously top the rice with the onion mixture that was simmered in the soy sauce dressing and has cooled slightly. The sweetness of the onion will complement the rice beautifully.
Step 6
Next, arrange the thinly sliced fresh salmon attractively on top. If you feel it needs a bit more flavor, drizzle a little of the prepared soy sauce dressing over the salmon. Finally, sprinkle the julienned onion and chopped scallions over the top for a delicious salmon donburi presentation!
Step 7
For an enhanced flavor experience, add a dab of fresh wasabi to your liking. This will elevate the salmon’s taste and cut through any richness. Enjoy your delicious meal!
