Ginger-Glazed Grilled Salmon Recipe

  Seafood

Ingredients:


2 salmon steaks or filets, 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons mirin (a syrupy Japanese rice wine)*
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake or dry sherry
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon squeezed juice of chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon shallot, slivered

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients except salmon to make a glaze. 2. Brush the salmon with the glaze on both sides and let sit at room temperature while the coals on the grill burn down. 3. Brush again and grill 5-8 minutes on each side. Brush again just before removing from grill.
* If mirin, an inexpensive and commonly available Japanese ingredient, proves hard to find, substitute 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar for it and add another 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to the recipe.
