Cooking tips 💡
- Never pour hot sauce onto salmon, as it will cook the surface—always cool the sauce completely before use.
- Adding a small amount of chicken stock enhances the depth of umami compared to using regular soy sauce alone.
- Over-marinating may make the salmon too salty, so we recommend enjoying it fresh within one day of preparation.
