Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Mirin Sweet rice wine; substitute with sweet sherry if needed.
  • 1/4 cup Sake Japanese rice wine; dry white wine makes a good alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Tamari Gluten-free soy sauce; regular soy sauce works if gluten is not a concern.
  • 3 tablespoons Miso Paste Fermented soybean paste; white miso is preferred for a milder taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Roasted Sesame Oil Adds a nutty aroma and flavor; use olive oil if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Grated Fresh Ginger Adds warmth and spice; fresh is recommended.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Provides sweetness; agave syrup is a good alternative.
For the Salmon

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine mirin, sake, tamari, miso paste, roasted sesame oil, grated ginger, and honey. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over, ensuring each fillet is coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high, or oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a skillet, set to medium heat.
  4. Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill for 6-8 minutes or sauté skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve hot with jasmine rice or miso soup.
