Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 1/2 lbs Salmon fillets, skinless and cubed
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mirin
  • 1/4 cup Sake
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 6 stalks Green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 piece Garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes until it reduces by half and becomes a thick, glossy syrup; set aside to cool.

  4. 4

    Thread the salmon cubes and green onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating between fish and onion.

  5. 5

    Lightly brush the salmon skewers with vegetable oil and season with a tiny pinch of salt if desired.

  6. 6

    Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat and place skewers on the grate.

  7. 7

    Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, brushing generously with the yakitori glaze during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat once the salmon is opaque and the glaze is caramelized, then sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
