I just love how black pepper sauce can be as versatile as mushroom sauce and that’s why both sauces are so frequently used in Western, Chinese and even Japanese cuisine. Normally, I’d make this black pepper sauce to go with grilled chicken but I felt like having salmon today so I just gave it a try. The sauce was intense but not too spicy and went really well with the fatty salmon belly. The onions just gave an extra crunch. If you don’t have salmon belly, you can try with salmon fillets and I would suggest they be pan-fried too so the crispier crust gives that punch and texture to the dish. Bon appetit!
