Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets 
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Recipe Notes

• You can marinate the fish longer, if needed.

• Do not overcook the salmon.

• For a gluten-free dinner, use tamari instead of soy sauce. 

• If desired, leave the skin on and crisp it up quickly under the broiler or in the skillet. 

Here's how to make it:

1. Combine the mirin, brown sugar, soy sauce and garlic in a plastic zipper bag. Squish to combine. Add the fish and let it marinate about 20 minutes.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and put into the pan. Cook until a golden color develops, about 2 to 3 minutes. 
3. Flip the fish over, reduce heat to medium and pour in the marinade, water and rice wine vinegar. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes or until fish is cooked through.
