Ingredients
- For the sauce:
-
1/2 cup
sake
-
1/4 cup
mirin, sweet Japanese rice wine
-
1/4 cup
reduced sodium soy sauce
- For the fish:
-
1 tablespoon
canola oil
-
1 pound
wild caught salmon, skin on, cut into 4 pieces
-
Kosher salt
Directions
-
In a small bowl, combine sake, mirin, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
-
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season salmon with salt, then place skin side down in hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip salmon and cook on additional side for about 1 minute. Transfer to plate.
-
Wipe out any fat from pan, then pour in sauce. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced significantly, about 4-5 minutes. Add salmon, skin side up, back into pan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, spooning sauce over the fish, until salmon is cooked through and sauce has thickened and becomes syrupy.
