Salmon bellies braised in sweet soy and ginger

Add a splash of veg oil to a large nonstick pan on medium-high heat. Add the ginger and fry for 1 minute. Add the garlic and fry another 1 minute.

Lay the fish into the pan in a single layer, on top of the ginger and garlic. Let cook 2 minutes, then add the soy sauce and water. Turn the heat down the medium-low. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the cover. Give the pan a shake to make sure nothing's sticking. Add a few grinds of freshly cracked black pepper, as well as the sugar and Maggi sauce. Let cook uncovered for 5 minutes, basting the sauce over the fish regularly. Do not flip the fish. Serve with a sprinkle of green onions.
