Japanese Salmon with Mirin and Soy Sauce

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 1 minute
• total time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (5 oz / 150 g each)

1 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp mirin

1 tbsp sake

1/2 tbsp oil

Directions

Combine all ingredients except the oil in a ziplock bag, remove as much air as possible and marinade overnight (or minimum 3 hours).

Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan over medium heat.

Add salmon skin side down, cook for 2 to 3 minutes until crispy. Check the skin to ensure it isn't cooking too quickly - if it is, then turn down the heat and/or remove the pan from the stove briefly to allow the temperature to decrease.

Drizzle over remaining marinade in the ziplock bag over the flesh side. Flip and cook the flesh side for 2 minutes, or to your liking. I like salmon medium rare so the inside is very moist and just cooked.

Rest for a couple of minutes, remembering that the salmon will continue to cook while resting, then serve.
