A legendary diner-style breakfast or late-night plate. Super fatty salmon belly gets fried to ultra-crispy skin perfection, topped with a warm, fragrant ginger-scallion infusion and crispy-edged eggs.
Ingredients
2 servings
Salmon Belly
Salmon belly strips400 g
Sea salt1 tsp
Ginger-Scallion Oil
Scallions, finely chopped30 g
Fresh ginger, finely grated15 g
Avocado oil60 ml
Fish sauce1 tsp
Fried Eggs
Eggs4 large
Butter15 g
Method
Ginger-Scallion Oil
1
Combine the finely chopped scallions and grated ginger in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the avocado oil until it just begins to smoke. Carefully pour the hot oil directly over the ginger and scallions—it will sizzle vigorously. Stir in the fish sauce and set aside.
Salmon Belly
2
Season the salmon belly strips with sea salt. Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon belly skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes without moving, allowing the natural fats to render and the skin to become extremely crispy. Flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, then transfer to a plate.
Fried Eggs
3
Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the butter to the rendered salmon fat in the pan. Crack the eggs directly into the hot fat. Spoon some of the hot butter and fat over the egg whites to cook them through while leaving the yolks runny and the edges lacy and crispy.
Plate
4
Arrange the crispy salmon belly strips alongside the lacy fried eggs on a platter, then spoon the warm ginger-scallion oil generously over both the fish and the eggs.
