Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets 6 oz each
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • Steamed broccoli and rice for serving

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.
  • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Remove the salmon from the marinade and reserve the marinade for later use.
  • Cook the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  • While the salmon cooks, pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Brush the thickened marinade over the salmon during the last minute of cooking.
  • Remove the salmon from the heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
  • Serve the salmon garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, alongside steamed broccoli and rice.
