《 one point advice 》
Using apple vinegar and Yuzu & Honey in the sauce makes for a refreshing aftertaste. After returning the salmon to the pan, be careful not to disturb it too much. To prevent the flesh from falling apart, you might also remove it from the pan after combining it with the seasoning, and return it to the pan after the sauce has thickened.
