Mirin Glazed Salmon

• portions: 4 servings

Ingrédients

60 millilitres mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

50 grams soft light brown sugar

60 millilitres soy sauce

4 salmon fillets (preferably Alaskan, organic or ASC-certified Scottish salmon)

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

1 - 2 spring onions (halved and shredded into fine strips)

Instructions

Mix the mirin, brown sugar and soy sauce in a shallow dish that will take all 4 pieces of salmon, and marinate the salmon in it for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second. Meanwhile heat a large non-stick frying pan on the hob.

Cook the salmon in the hot, dry pan for 2 minutes and then turn the salmon over, add the marinade and cook for another 2 minutes.

Remove the salmon to whatever plate you're serving it on, add the rice vinegar to whatever remains of the marinade in the hot pan, and warm through.

Pour the dark, sweet, salty glaze over the salmon and top with the spring onion strips.

Serve with rice or noodles as you wish, and consider putting some sushi ginger on the table, too.
