1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 thumb-size ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
4 (4 ounces each) salmon fillets
1 tablespoon canola oil

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Stir together until well-blended and sugar is dissolved.

6. Using a spatula, gently turn over the fillets on the other side. Continue to cook, basting regularly with the sauce, for about 3 to 4 minutes or just until opaque and begins to easily flake with a fork,
7. Remove from pan and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
