Ingredients

  • Tare Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mirin
  • 1/2 cup sweet sake
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salmon
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 (4 -6 ounce) salmon fillets
  • sesame seeds
  • 2 cups cooked rice (Basmati works well)

Method

  • Prepare tare sauce. Combine ingredients in a saucepan. Heat to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook about 30 minutes, or until sauce is reduced to half its original quantity, stirring occasionally.
  • Allow tare sauce to cool completely.
  • Once sauce is cool, use it to marinade the salmon steaks for up to 1 hour.
  • Add grapeseed oil to a large skillet or wok over moderately high heat. Add green onion; cook for one minute. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Add salmon to skillet. Cook salmon about 1 minute per side.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low; add tare sauce and garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes per side or until fish is flaky.
  • Serve salmon on a bed of rice. Drizzle each salmon steak with tare sauce. Sprinkle green onion and sesame seeds on top.
