4 salmon fillets
1 tbsp salt
1/2 daikon radish
1 tsp soy sauce

How to cook it

Salt the salmon fillets on both sides and let them sit at least 20 minutes (or overnight, loosely covered, in the fridge).
Pat the fillets dry and grill or broil skin-side up until the skin blisters and the flesh flakes easily, about 5 minutes per side.
Grate the daikon and squeeze out a little of its liquid.
Serve the salmon with a mound of grated daikon and a few drops of soy sauce spooned over.
