Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1-2 servings)

  • Alaska Pollock (dried, cut into 2 fillets) 1 fish
  • Potato Starch, plenty
  • Grated Daikon Radish, 200g
  • Chopped Green Onions, 2-3 stalks

Seasonings

  • Vegetable Oil, for cooking
  • Lemon Juice, 1 tbsp
  • Soy Sauce, to taste
  • Grated Lemon Zest, to taste

Steps

  1. Trim the fins from the Alaska Pollock using kitchen scissors. **(Key Tip!)** The trimmed fins can be grilled later as crispy bone chips.
  2. Make about **1-inch** deep cuts into the flesh of the pollock, then chop it roughly. **(Key Tip!)** Only kitchen scissors are needed; no knives or cutting boards required.
  3. Generously coat the chopped pollock with **Potato Starch**. **(Key Tip!)** Be careful as oil may splatter during frying.
  4. Heat **Vegetable Oil** in a frying pan and fry the trimmed fins until crispy to make bone chips. **(Key Tip!)** These also make a great snack.
  5. In the same frying pan after cooking the fins, start searing the pollock coated with potato starch, skin-side down. **(Key Tip!)** This is a 'Tatsuta-Yaki' method, pan-fried with a small amount of oil, not deep-fried.
  6. Once the skin of the pollock is golden brown, flip it over and cook the flesh side. **(Key Tip!)** If the pollock doesn't fit whole in the pan, you can cut it in half to cook.
  7. Press down on the thick parts and sides to sear each surface until golden brown. **(Key Tip!)** Since it's dried fish, it won't dry out easily even if overcooked, and the flesh will be tender and easy to flake.
  8. Arrange the cooked pollock on a plate.
  9. In a separate bowl, mix **Grated Daikon Radish (200g)** with **Lemon Juice (1 tbsp)**.
  10. Top the plated pollock with the mixed grated daikon radish, **Chopped Green Onions (2-3 stalks)**, and sprinkle with **Grated Lemon Zest**.
  11. Drizzle with **Soy Sauce** to taste.
