Salmon is delicious when cooked as a fillet, but in Japan, it is also popular to enjoy it as Salmon Flakes. When you put them in your mouth, you will experience the rich taste of the salmon, infused with slightly sweet and savory traditional Japanese flavors.
Remove the scales, skin, and bones from salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets in a pan, add seasonings (sake, mirin, and salt), and then simmer over medium heat for 4 minutes, flipping the fillets halfway through.
Continue cooking the salmon fillets, breaking them into smaller pieces with a spatula.
Once most of the seasoning liquid has been absorbed, add sesame oil and cook for an additional minute.
Notes
You can keep them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
