Sake no Yaki is a flavorful and healthy Japanese grilled fish dish that showcases the delicate taste of salmon marinated in a blend of soy sauce, sake, and ginger. Served with a side of sautéed seasonal vegetables, this dish is both nutritious and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 x 150g
• Soy sauce - 30ml
• Sake - 30ml
• Mirin - 15ml
• Fresh ginger - 1 tsp, grated
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sake, mirin, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the salmon marinates, prepare the seasonal vegetables by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat.
6. Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
