Salt grilled salmon head

 烤鲑鱼头

Yes, you can have a decent Japanese meal at home. Buy a  salmon fish head from the market (they are cheap - I got one head for S$5!), grill it and serve with Japanese rice, miso soup and chawanmushi (steamed egg).

Ingredients

1 salmon head

1/2 teaspoon salt

Method

1. Ask the fishmonger to cut the head into two and remove gills. 

2. Wash and clean the fish heads and dab dry. Make sure scales on the fish head are removed.

3. Line a baking pan with aluminium foil. Put the fish head, cut side facing up, and sprinkle half of the salt.

4. Grill the salmon at 250 degree celcius for 8 to 10 minutes. 

5. Take the salmon from the oven, flip the salmon over and sprinkle the remaining half of the salt. Return the salmon to the oven and grill until the salmon head is a bit charred, around 15minutes.

6. Take salmon out from the oven and serve hot.
