Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the salmon fillets dry before marinating to ensure a better sear.
• If you don't have mirin, you can substitute it with a combination of rice vinegar and sugar.
• For a smoky flavor, you can grill the salmon on an outdoor grill instead of using a pan.
• Garnish the dish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the salmon in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
• Serve the Japanese Breakfast Salmon with additional soy sauce or ponzu sauce for dipping, if desired.
