Tick the ingredients as you go

• 2 salmon fillets (5 oz / 150 g each)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp mirin
• 1 tbsp sake
• 1/2 tbsp oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Put the salmon, soy sauce, mirin and sake in a zip-top bag, squeeze out as much air as you can and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.

   
2. 2

   Warm the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

3. 3

   Lay the fillets in skin side down and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the skin is crisp. If it is colouring too fast, turn the heat down or lift the pan off the burner for a moment.

   
5. 4

   Spoon the leftover marinade over the top of the fish, then turn the fillets and cook the flesh side for 2 minutes, or until done to your liking.

   
6. 5

   Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes (it will keep cooking gently) before serving.
