Salmon is a familiar part of Japanese breakfast. The salmon you often see served in Japan is salted salmon, known as *shiozake*.

It's easy to find in supermarkets across Japan. Since it's already seasoned with salt and sugar, it's delicious simply grilled.

Salted salmon is also versatile. It's enjoyed not only for breakfast, but also in Bento lunches and Onigiri.

Unfortunately, it's not readily available in London, so I decided to make my own.
