Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sake, mirin, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Salmon Belly
Place the salmon belly in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Torch the Salmon Belly
Preheat a kitchen torch. Remove the salmon from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Torch the skin side of the salmon belly until it is crispy and slightly charred, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve
Slice the torched salmon belly into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with any remaining marinade, garnish with wasabi, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds before serving.
