Barbecue Salmon with Ginger

Barbecue Salmon with Ginger

Serves 4

• 4 salmon fillets, skin on
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sake
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons sugar

Garnish:

• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 shallots, finely chopped
• 4 tablespoons peeled and finely grated ginger
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions:

Place fillets in a large baking dish without overlapping. Combine next five ingredients and pour over the fillets. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, turning occasionally.

For the garnish, heat oil in a skillet and add shallots, ginger, and garlic. Saute over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 min. Add soy sauce and stir. Remove from heat and set aside. Discard marinade. Place fillets, skin side up, on preheated, greased grill for 3 min. Turn and cook 4-6 min., depending on thickness. Spread a tablespoon of the garnish on top of each fillet before serving.
