Baked Mentaiyaki with Scallop Salmon
Mentaiyaki is a special Japanese dish that is not commonly available. It is considered a delicate gourmet and the price can fetch up to $30 for a small 'not-too-generous' dish.
The best thing is that you can make this at home and have it at anytime. It is relatively simple and the taste is utterly delicious.
My brunch concoction is packed with sweet scallop, omega 3 salmon and a sea of creamy mentaiko.
It is so very good on toast or crostini.
