Notes

  • I like to use fresh salmon whenever possible as I find the flavor and texture is better than frozen. When it’s available, I choose wild caught king or sockeye salmon. I’ve also made this recipe with Atlantic salmon with good results.
  • This recipe calls for mirin, which is a sweet Japanese rice wine that’s designed for cooking with. You can find mirin in the international foods aisle of most major grocery stores or in local Asian markets.
