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.
