Method

  1. 1 Blanch the salmon fillets in 80-degree water for 20 seconds, then soak them in cold water and scrape off any clotted blood.
  2. 2 Blanching and scraping the flesh is a mandatory step when cooking snapper; failing to do so will result in a whole pot of fish with a strong, pungent smell.
  3. 3 Cut the radish into 2 cm thick slices and blanch them for 12 minutes in rice water.
  4. 4 Boiling radishes in rice water beforehand is a way to remove their bitter taste.
  5. 5 Simmer the radishes in dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar for 20 minutes.
  6. 6 Arrange the fish fillets in the pan and simmer for another 15 minutes with parchment paper covering the surface. Sprinkle with shredded ginger and green onions.
