Japanese-Style Glazed Salmon Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

Fish:

• 4 salmon filets, rinsed
• sea salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons green onions, green parts only, diced thinly
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Marinade:

• 1/4 cup sake (60 ml)
• 1/4 cup dark soy sauce (60 ml)
• 1 tablespoon mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (50 g)
• 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger

Glaze:

• 1/3 cup brown sugar (65 g)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the sake, soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin and ginger. Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper and place them in a shallow dish (or plastic freezer bag) and add the marinade. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours; turning once or twice.
2. Preheat the oven to 450°F / 250°C.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and mustard. Heat over low heat until simmering and the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
4. In a baking dish brushed with olive oil, place the salmon, skin side down. Brush with the glaze and bake for 8-10 minutes until just cooked, depending on thickness of the filets.
5. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
6. Top the filets with any remaining glaze and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
