Japanese Yakimono Recipe
Yakimono is a Japanese term that translates to "grilled things." It refers broadly to all grilled foods, ranging from steaks to gyoza.
Ingredients
- Salmon fillets – 4 pieces (6 oz each)
- Soy sauce – 3 tbsp
- Mirin – 2 tbsp
- Sake – 2 tbsp
- Miso paste – 2 tbsp
- Brown sugar – 1 tbsp
- Sesame oil – 1 tsp
- Green onions (chopped) – 2 tbsp
- Sesame seeds (for garnish) – 1 tsp
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, miso paste, brown sugar, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and coat them with the marinade. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, ensuring the flavors penetrate the fish.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place the fillets on the grill, skin side down.
- Grill the salmon for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Baste the fillets with the remaining marinade during grilling for an extra burst of flavor.
- Garnish the grilled salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
