Remove the salmon fillets once cooked and arrange them on a plate.

In the same pan, add two tablespoons of vegetable oil and lightly fry the julienned ginger until crisp. Add the julienned scallions and cook until wilted.

Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture into the pan. Let it boil then remove from heat.
