Servings: 4

Ingredients

Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
Green onions (2, thinly sliced)
Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
Honey (2 tablespoons)
Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
Sake (1/2 cup)
Salmon fillets (4 (6 oz each))

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sake, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. This is your sake glaze.
While the glaze is simmering, season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes, or until the skin becomes crispy.
Transfer the salmon fillets to a baking dish, keeping them skin side down. Brush them generously with the sake glaze, but make sure to save some for serving.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
After removing the salmon from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the Sake Glazed Salmon with extra glaze drizzled on top and a garnish of thinly sliced green onions. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors!
