Japanese Style Grilled Salmon
- 4 (5-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sake or dry white wine
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
- 1 small lemon, thinly sliced
- Soba Noodle Salad (recipe follows)
- This approach with salmon works equally well on fresh halibut or sea bass.
- We serve the resulting fish hot or at room temperature either as the center of the plate or as part of a salad.
- If you're using salmon, try marinating and grilling the skin separately to use as a garnish.
- Season salmon with salt and set aside.
- Combine marinade ingredients, except lemon slices, in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Add lemon and pour cooled marinade over fish and marinate refrigerated for 2 to 4 hours.
- Turn fish occasionally.
- To serve: Grill or broil on both sides until just done, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Be careful not to overcook.
- Salmon should still be translucent in the center.
- Serve with Soba Noodle Salad on the side.
