Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup sake
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Sake-Glazed Salmon with Sesame Seeds is simple when you follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the sake, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for baking, or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the Salmon: In a large skillet heated with sesame oil, sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly golden.
  5. Add Marinade: Pour some of the marinade over the salmon while cooking, letting it bubble and reduce slightly.
  6. Transfer to Oven: If using the oven, place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes. If using a grill, transfer the fillets directly to the grill.
  7. Toast Sesame Seeds: In a small pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.
  8. Garnish the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, remove it from the heat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
  9. Serve Hot: Plate the salmon fillets and drizzle any remaining glaze on top for extra flavor.
