  • preparation 5 minutes
  • cooking 10 minutes
  • difficulty Easy level

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets, about 280 g each, skin-on, pin-boned
  • 80 g mixed Japanese mushrooms, cut into strips
  • 2 heads pak choy or baby bok choy, quartered
  • 1 brown onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 60 g butter
  • 4 tsp soy sauce
  • 4 tsp sake

Instructions

  1. Cut the salmon fillets in half lengthways and place each piece, skin-side down onto a 30-cm square piece of foil. Divide the mushrooms, pak choy, onion and butter between all four pieces of salmon. Drizzle each piece with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sake. Gather the foil around the salmon and crimp it at the top to form an enclosed package.
  2. Take a large, lidded frying pan and add about 1 cm water. Place the packages of salmon in the water, cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove the packages and serve.
