We can get a lot of salmon here, so we sometimes receive a whole one as a gift. I salt it, eat it in hot pot, and bake it in foil, but there are limits to how often you can repeat those recipes... So I tried making tatsutaage, since the it is a very mild fish.

Be careful not to overcook the salmon.
The key is to cook it until it's plump and juicy.
It's delicious served piping hot with lemon or sudachi juice. Recipe by Yamadamahiru

Cooking Instructions

1

Filet the salmon. This salmon was 2 kg in total, so I used the lower half of one side.
2

Mix the soy sauce, sake, mirin, and grated ginger together. Marinate the salmon in the mixture for a while.
3

Coat the marinated salmon with katakuriko.
4

Let's fry it up! The salmon pieces cook pretty fast. Be careful not to burn yourself.
5

Serve decorated with fresh parsley. If you squeeze on lemon juice, it's really delicious.

Bite-Sized Deep-Fried Autumn Salmon Zangi Bite-Sized Deep-Fried Autumn Salmon Zangi

A few years back, I ate Salmon Zangi (made from frozen food) and was impressed. Thinking I could make a homemade version, I came up with my own.The marinating step is the key to this recipe.I prefer the marinade to be strongly flavored, so adjust to taste.Then all you need to do is deep fry the salmon.There may be hidden bones, so be careful when serving to small children. For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by runa10

I learned about the ratio of katakuriko to flour on TV, and love it! The chicken turns out super crisp.These are deep fried in 180°C oil; a trick to testing whether the oil is hot enough is to stick a pair of wooden chopsticks into the pot and if it bubbles, it's ready. Recipe by Donpintan

While deep fried dishes are referred to as "karaage" in Japan, it's known as "zangi" in Hokkaido prefectures.Every household has their own version of karaage batter, we add egg. We also serve chicken karaage along with pork karaage.The egg is what makes this special – it makes the coating soft and moist. Recipe by mielle

I love baked salmon, but I'm a grill master these days. It's not my exact recipe, but this is good enough to share.

Marinating the salmon after frying makes them light and refreshing. Fish and vegetables that have been deep-fried and marinated in vinegar sauce, called "nanbanzuke" in Japanese.

I was at a market, saw a fresh salmon head for $2.75. Can’t pass at that price. 😊

At the market, the tomatoes are starting to look pretty good, so I picked up a few. I was in the mood for salmon and got a small tail-end fillet chunk. The salmon set me thinking that dill might work with tomatoes. I'm not sure why I thought to brown the butter, but it makes sense in hindsight. There was an element missing, so I found some Greek yogurt in the fridge and added dill, but it was lacking. Tried salt and pepper. There was a definite improvement, but not quite there. A touch of horseradish sealed the deal. It made sense to use the, "tomato story," bowl I got at Daiso, a Japanese dollar store near my house. Pretty satisfied with the results overall. I'd put it on a menu.
