2. Pat the fish dry with paper towel and discard the sake.
3. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the fish generously, and let it sit for 20 minutes.

NOTES
Most Japanese restaurants serve this dish with grated daikon. I plated it with pickled ginger, and pickled daikon instead. The sweet and sour of ginger and daikon made great contrast with the salted fish. Pair with rice and soup, it’s a complete dinner for one.
