Servings: 4 people
- 200 gr salmon 2-3 fillets
- 2 onions cut into julienne
- 2 garlic thinly chopped
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp ginger minced
- sesame seeds
- kosher salt
Heat your cast iron over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and the onions and cook until soft, then toss the garlic and the ginger.
Add the sugar and let it melt. This way the onions will be perfectly caramelized.
Pour the oyster sauce, the soy sauce, and the sesame oil. Cook until it starts to bubble.
Season the salmon with salt and cook it into the sauce, skin down. Flip it and let it cool completely.
Sprinkle with some sesame seeds and serve with a good amount of caramelized onions.
