1
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and evenly spread two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
2
Place the salmon fillets in the pan skin-side down. Cook each side for 6 minutes for optimal doneness. Avoid meddling with the salmon while it cooks to maintain its juiciness and prevent it from falling to pieces.
3
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the glaze. In a bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
4
Remove the salmon fillets once cooked and arrange them on a plate.
5
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.
6
Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture into the pan. Let it boil then remove from heat.
7
To serve, plate the cooked rice, place a salmon fillet on top, and generously spoon the ginger and scallion mixture over. Pour some sauce on top, ensuring to saturate the salmon evenly. Finish by sprinkling fresh cilantro.
