Breakfast Shiozuke Salmon (塩漬け鮭 – Salt-Preserved Salmon)

Shiozuke salmon is a classic Japanese breakfast dish, featuring salt-cured salmon grilled to perfection. This method of preservation dates back to the Edo period, when fishermen salted their catch to extend its shelf life. The result is a deeply flavorful, slightly firm salmon that pairs beautifully with rice and miso soup.

A Japanese proverb states, “A fish that swims against the current grows stronger.” This reflects the resilience of salmon, a trait admired in Japanese culture. At Munch Classes, you’ll learn how to cure and grill salmon for an authentic breakfast experience.
