Comments

Here's a really useful, great tasting glaze for salmon or poultry.

Method

Place soy sauce, rice wine or sake, ginger and sugar in a pot and boil about 5 minutes until just lightly thickened. Cool. Pour over fish.

Leave for 10 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge, turning once or twice. Pre-heat oven to 250°C. Place fish skin side down in a baking dish, spoon over marinade to coat. Bake 5-6 minutes until just cooked.

Serve with Japanese or short grain rice with lightly cooked spinach.
