Kim Dae-seok's Salmon Jang

A rice-killer Salmon Jang with a savory secret soy sauce, made from fresh salmon that’s firm and free of fishy odor, then marinated to perfection.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never pour hot marinade onto salmon—doing so will cause the fat and proteins to instantly solidify, destroying the natural tender texture. Always ensure the broth is completely cooled before use.
  • The small amount of anchovy fish sauce blends subtly into the base, wrapping around any fishy undertones and adding depth and richness to the overall flavor.
  • If the lemon isn’t properly washed or has seeds left inside, it may impart a bitter taste. Use baking soda to scrub the peel thoroughly and remove all seeds with a toothpick or similar tool.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy premium, non-fishy, firm and chewy Salmon Jang at home like a professional Japanese restaurant.
  • People looking for the golden ratio of savory, balanced soy sauce blend with just enough umami and no saltiness.
  • Anyone wanting to prepare a luxurious side dish in advance that elevates the next day’s meal with ease.
