Delicious sake ginger glazed salmon marinated in Japanese yakitori sauce and fresh ginger.
Ingredients:
  • Marinade:
  • 1/2 cup sake
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
  • 2 Tbsp finely grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • A dash of red chili pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • Salmon:
  • 1 1/2 pounds of salmon fillets
  • Olive oil
Instructions:
  • Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, sake, mirin, ginger, garlic, chile flakes, and sugar in a bowl. Place the salmon fillets in a resealable bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag tightly, put it in a baking dish as a precaution, and refrigerate for at least an hour, or longer for better flavor infusion.
  • Simmer marinade until reduced by half. Remove salmon from marinade and heat in a saucepan until it simmers and thickens. Grilling method: Brush grill grates with olive oil, pre-heat grill to medium heat. Place salmon on oiled foil on the grill, skin side down. Brush with marinade glaze, cover and cook 6-10 minutes, basting halfway, until just cooked. Pan frying method: Heat olive oil in a skillet, fry salmon 3-4 minutes per side, basting with marinade until just cooked. Baking method: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking dish with foil, brush with olive oil. Place salmon on foil, brush with marinade, bake 10-15 minutes until just cooked. Serve and enjoy!
