A rich dish that combines the deep flavors of salmon and hijiki. A small amount is very satisfying due to the strong flavoring and sauteed salmon. Great with rice and drinks. Also makes a delicious bento item.

<Notes>
- Hijiki can be soaked in hot water to speed up the rehydration process.
- If salmon is super fresh, salting is optional. Salting draws excess water from the fish, which helps to eliminate the fishy taste and smell that come as fish becomes older.
- Since the salmon in this dish is cut into cubes, thinner sections work fine. Above I used the section next to the belly, reserving the thicker back section for another dish (grilled with duxelles) the next day.
- Washing the pot after transferring cooked salmon and emptying oil can cut back on the calories and fat content of this dish.
- If not serving immediately, add yu choy sum when heating up before eating. A brighter green is always more cheerful.
- Any soft-tasting green vegetable works fine -- snow peas, sugar peas, green beans, asparagus, nanohana field mustard, broccoli raab, broccoli, komatsuna, tacai, gailan, kabu turnip leaves, and daikon radish leaves are good choices.
