Instructions
Creating Yakitori-Style Salmon is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the salmon is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stovetop.
4. Remove from Marinade: Take the salmon out of the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then gently flip and grill for another 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and has grill marks.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
7. Serve: Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
