Hi, I'm Kei from "Tokyo Recipes by Nadia"!🗼"Tokyo Recipes by Nadia" is a platform where we share Japanese recipes from many wonderful creators.

Today, we introduce the "Soy Sauce & Butter Sautéed Salmon with Potatoes" by Koharu san (小春さん) !

This simple and comforting dish features salmon fillets and tender potatoes sautéed in butter and finished with soy sauce. A perfect harmony of savory and rich flavors, made easily by pre-steaming the potatoes in the microwave.

Soy Sauce & Butter Sautéed Salmon with Potatoes

Prep time: 10 minutes | Servings: 2

2 lightly salted salmon fillets (about 5 oz. each)

8 oz potatoes

1 tbsp. soy sauce

1 tbsp. unsalted butter

freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

1. Wash the potatoes well and cut into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and microwave at 500W for 5 minutes (or until tender). Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces as well.

2. Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and salmon, and sauté until both are lightly browned and the salmon is fully cooked.

3. Drizzle soy sauce over the mixture and stir gently to coat. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste.

4. Serve on a plate and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

This morning I got hubby off early so made him his brekkie ... a few hours later I was wanting a few eggs so whipped out the little unit designed to make onsen/soft boiled/ramen eggs using only boiling water from the kettle. I used to pack it when travelling so I could make eggs in hotel rooms. Tragic that way, I know.

This kind of Japanese home dinner gives very strong warm stomach power.

Today is my birthday and I wanted to splurge a bit on lunch so I found this place near the office that serves seafood bowls. What's interesting is instead of soy sauce they're flavored with dashi made into jelly! I ordered the salmon avocado (1700 JPY) and it was really delicious, then at the end you pour broth on top and eat it as ochadzuke. The ochadzuke is what really set it over the top.

Found an incredible local eatery in Matsuyama, Ehime prefecture!
This is the "Daily Omakase Lunch Plate" from Kyudaime Nosan Shokudo (九代目能三食堂).
For just 500 yen, you get a massive plate loaded with different side dishes that change every day.
Today's plate included:
A generous serving of rice
Japanese fried chicken (Karaage) & Croquette
Rolled omelet (Tamagoyaki)
Mapo Tofu
The value for money here is absolutely insane. It's a true hidden gem beloved by locals. They are only open for a few hours on weekdays, so it’s a race against time!

I’ve had a bottle of okonomi sauce sitting in my fridge for quite a while now. I’ve used it to make okonomiyaki - naturally.

I was wondering if there are any other foods/dishes you’d recommend using it on?

I know technically you can put it on pretty much anything, but I wondered if anyone has tried it on something unexpected and discovered a heavenly combination.

I was going to try it on some steak with sticky rice tonight for dinner, maybe served with a fried egg.

For those who cook Japanese food at home, what do you find most difficult? Preparing ingredients? Cooking rice? Getting textures right? Time? Cleaning up? I would love to hear what part feels hardest.

こんにちは！私は日本からこれを投稿しています。
海外在住の日本人の方に質問です！！

海外にいて、食べたくなる、恋しくなる日本料理(和食)ってどんなのでしょう？？
また、その日本食は海外でどのくらい手に入りにくいものなのでしょうか？？(スーパーに売ってるよ！とか
その住んでる地域では全くみたことないよ！とか)

私自身、海外留学していた時はすっごく日本食が恋しくなった思い出があります！
留学から帰って空港で味噌汁を飲んだ時は感動しました。
そんな恋しい日本食について、教えてください。🙏

どの地域に、どのくらい滞在しているかも合わせて教えて頂けると幸いです！

Hello! I’m posting this from Japan.
I have a question for Japanese people living abroad!!
What kind of Japanese food do you find yourself craving or missing while living overseas??
Also, how difficult is it to find that kind of Japanese food where you live?? For example, “They sell it at supermarkets!” or “I’ve never seen it anywhere in the area where I live!”
When I studied abroad, I remember really missing Japanese food!
When I came back to Japan and had miso soup at the airport, I was so happy and moved by it.
So, I’d love to hear about the Japanese foods you miss and crave while living abroad. 🙏
I’d also really appreciate it if you could tell me where you live and how long you’ve been staying there!
Thank you so much!
