Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup sake
1 celery, sliced
1 peeled carrot, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1 tbsp sugar
2 bay leaves
1 tsp toasted black peppercorns
2 tbsp soy sauce
water, to cover
4 (8-oz) salmon fillets, skin removed , center cut
salt and white pepper
1/2 cup ponzu
3 large sliced shallots
1 tbsp togarashi , save some for garnish
2 tbsp japanese soy sauce
1/2 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 fennel bulbs, shaved , fronds reserved for garnish
1 lb blanched somen noodles
1/2 cup sliced scallions

Directions:

In a salmon poacher or large saucepot, mix the sake, celery, carrot, onion, sugar, bay leaves, peppercorns, soy sauce, and water, to cover. Add the seasoned salmon and slowly bring the liquid to a simmer. Simmer for 3 minutes then turn off the heat. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes depending on doneness desired. I prefer medium rare (5 minutes).
In a blender, add ponzu, shallots, 1/2 tablespoon togarashi, soy, and sugar. Blend on high speed and drizzle in the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, mix together fennel, somen, and scallions and toss with enough vinaigrette to coat the salad. There will be some left over for plating. Check for seasoning.
Plating: On a large plate, place a mound of the salad and top with hot salmon. Drizzle on a little of the vinaigrette and garnish with remaining togarashi and fennel fronds.
Drink Suggestion: Wakatake Daiginjo Onikoroshi Sake
