Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 12 oz salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Massage 2 tbsp shio koji evenly over both sides, then sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt. Refrigerate for 1 hour until the surface feels slightly tacky.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice and 1 tbsp chopped dill. Brush the mixture over the salmon and serve immediately.
