King Salmon Mirin Glaze and Shiokoji Grilled Recipe

Here is a simple recipe for you to try using king salmon. You can prepare this in advance to get the flavor of the marinade into the fish. You can also set aside the marinade, mirinzuke, and add while cooking for more flavor. If you decide not to cook it after two days of storing, remove from marinade and freeze the fish properly. You can lightly salt the salmon before cooking.

Salmon has a very distinct flavor so be careful not to over soak. Like most fish, it can also get dry when you overcook it so watch out when broiling. You can also cook it on stove with a bit of oil.

This is a very simple recipe and requires only a few ingredients. Is this something you would like to try at home?
