Sizzling Chinatown Ginger-Scallion Salmon Bowl

A nod to the late-night subterranean joints where sizzling hot oil brings aromatics to life instantly. Crispy-skinned salmon fillet sits on a bed of rich, egg-yolk enriched cauliflower rice, topped with an intense mountain of finely shredded ginger and scallions. Sizzling hot fat is poured over the top to flash-cook the aromatics, creating a fragrant, deeply satisfying umami bomb.

Method

Ginger-Scallion Salmon

Pat the salmon skin dry and season both sides with sea salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down, pressing gently for 30 seconds. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is shatteringly crisp, then flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Remove and set aside.

Egg-Yolk Cauliflower Rice

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and saute for 3 minutes until tender but not mushy. Turn off the heat, immediately stir in the raw egg yolks and a splash of tamari, tossing vigorously so the residual heat cooks the yolk into a rich, velvety sauce coating the grains.

Sizzling Aromatics

In a small saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of tallow or avocado oil with the sesame oil until shimmering hot.

Plate

Divide the creamy cauliflower rice between two bowls. Place a crispy salmon fillet on top of each. Mound the finely julienned ginger and sliced scallions directly on top of the salmon. Carefully drizzle the sizzling hot fat directly over the ginger and scallions to flash-fry them, releasing their aroma. Finish with a drizzle of tamari around the bowl.
