Ingredients

  • Broccoli - 100 grams
  • Carrot - 50 grams
  • Shiitake mushrooms - 50 grams
  • Yuzu juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
  • Mirin - 1 tablespoon
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste

Steps

  1. Prepare the vegetables by cutting the broccoli into florets, slicing the carrot into thin strips, and slicing the shiitake mushrooms.
  2. In a steamer basket, add the broccoli, carrot, and shiitake mushrooms, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  3. While the vegetables are steaming, season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper on both sides.
