Grilled Salmon

Grilled Salmon is a healthy and flavorful Japanese breakfast dish that combines the rich taste of salmon with a delicate marinade. Served with rice and pickled vegetables, it offers a balanced start to your day.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 (150g each)
• Soy sauce - 2 tbsp (30ml)
• Mirin - 1 tbsp (15ml)
• Sake - 1 tbsp (15ml)
• Brown sugar - 1 tsp (4g)
• Sesame oil - 1 tsp (5ml)
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Cooked white rice - 1 cup (200g)
• Pickled vegetables - 100g

Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat.
4. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. While the salmon is grilling, prepare the rice if not already cooked.
6. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute.
7. Serve the grilled salmon with cooked white rice and a side of pickled vegetables, garnished with chopped green onions.
