Description
The Grilled Japanese Salmon with Mirin and Soy Sauce is a symphony of flavors that embodies the essence of Japanese cuisine.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Start by whisking together soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Add brown sugar, minced garlic, and ginger, and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish ensuring an even surface for marination. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are coated entirely. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once heated, remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.
Notes
Ensure that your grill or grill pan is available and in working condition. Preheating the grill is crucial to achieve the perfect sear and avoid sticking.
