Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine soju, lemon juice and salt to taste and marinate salmon for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, with a rolling pin, roll out bread slices until thickness matches that of a fettuccini noodle. Remove salmon from marinade, reserving marinade, and dip in flour, then egg wash. Replace skin side with bread, cutting bread to fit the shape of the salmon. Saute in a hot skillet, bread-side down, until golden, then roast in oven for 7-8 minutes. Dice charred vegetables and saute in skillet for 3 minutes. Deglaze with soju marinade, taking care to cook
