Ingredients
Instructions
Season Both Sides Lightly With Salt And Pepper
Pat the salmon fillets dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Whisk Together The Soy Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and grated ginger. Set aside.
Heat The Vegetable Oil In A Non-Stick Skillet
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet.
Ensure The Skin Makes Full Contact With The Pan
Cook for 4-5 minutes, pressing down gently on the fillets with a spatula to ensure the skin makes full contact with the pan and becomes crispy.
Cook For Another 2-3 Minutes
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is almost cooked through.
Add The Minced Garlic To The Pan
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour The Prepared Soy-Mirin Sauce Over The Salmon
Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets until they are glazed and cooked through.
Remove From Heat
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds if desired.
