• Yuzu juice - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon

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.
