Teriyaki Salmon

1. 1

   Heat the broiler or light the grill.

2. 2

   If broiling, line a broiler pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly oil the foil.

3. 3

   In a medium stainless-steel saucepan, bring the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to a boil, stirring.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to 2/3 cup, about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   If broiling, put the salmon in the prepared pan.

6. 6

   Brush the salmon with the soy-sauce mixture.

7. 7

   Broil or grill until well browned, about 2 minutes.

8. 8

   Turn and brush with more of the soy-sauce mixture.

9. 9

   Continue cooking until the fish is browned and just barely done (the fish should still be translucent in the center), about 3 minutes longer.

10. 10

    Brush with the remaining soy-sauce mixture and serve.

11. 11

    Wine Recommendation: Soy sauce is notoriously tough to pair with wine, which is one reason beer is so often served with Japanese food.

12. 12

    A moderately priced sparkling wine from California is another possibility.

13. 13

    This will stand up to the soy sauce and cut through the richness of the salmon.
