Chef Hyejin

If you don’t like salmon then you should leave my blog. Please just go, I don’t care who you might be or why you dislike it, just disconnect your computer and go.

I love salmon. I love it even more when I can get a lot of it. The other day after a fish market tour, I stopped over to talk with a vendor and enquired about buying some. So after some haggling, I got a whole half of a salmon – enough to make about 6 good fillets. The good thing was that they already deboned it and put it on a nice fake plank (it’s faux styrofoam) for taking it back home. But I didn’t go home. I went to my cooking school where Chef Hyejin lovingly prepared it for lunch.

The first day we just had some sashimi with sliced onions and lemon. The next day we pan-fried some with some orange miso sauce. The rest we froze for another day.

The salmon came out to be about 60,000 won but some times you have to splurge, right?
