Steps:
- For the marinade and fish: Combine all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Pour the marinade into a plastic zipper-lock bag. Put the salmon steaks into the bag, seal it, and marinate the steaks in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- For the dressing: When ready to cook the salmon, whisk all the ingredients (except seeds) together in a small bowl until combined, then set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet until hot. Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade and arrange them in the hot skillet with the marinade on top. Cover and cook over medium to high heat for about two minutes, or until the bottoms of the steaks are nicely browned and the tops are cooked through from the steam created in the covered pan. The steaks should be slightly rare in the center.
- Serve the salmon steaks with the lemon dressing drizzled over and around them and sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Make ahead: For this fast, easy recipe, the salmon can be marinated in the refrigerator overnight.
MIRIN-GLAZED SALMON
Steps:
- Mix the mirin, sugar, and soy in a shallow dish that will hold all of the salmon and marinate the salmon in it for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second. Meanwhile, heat up a large non stick skillet on the stove over medium/high heat. Cook the salmon (NON skin side first) in the hot, dry pan for 3 minutes (she says 2 but I like my salmon more cooked.) Turn it over, pouring in the marinade and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the salmon to your serving plate, and add the rice vinegar to the marinade still on the stove. Stir all together for a few seconds over medium heat until bubbly and 'sticky', then pour over the salmon and garnish with scallions.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality salmon: Opt for fresh, wild-caught salmon if possible, as it tends to have a better flavor and texture than farmed salmon. For the best results, use salmon fillets that are about 1-inch thick.
- Marinate the salmon: Marinating the salmon in a mixture of mirin, soy sauce, and sake helps to add flavor and moisture to the fish. Be sure to marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat: Cooking the salmon over medium heat helps to prevent it from drying out. If you cook the salmon over high heat, it is more likely to burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Baste the salmon with the marinade: Basting the salmon with the marinade while it cooks helps to keep it moist and flavorful. Use a pastry brush to baste the salmon every few minutes.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through: The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook the salmon, as it will become tough and dry.
Conclusion:
Mirin-glazed salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is tender and flavorful, and the glaze adds a sweet and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone. Serve the salmon with rice, vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
