How to Make Salmon Sweet And Spicy

  1. Whisk together the soy sauce (2 tablespoons), mirin (1 tablespoon), sake (1 tablespoon), sugar (1 tablespoon), rice vinegar (1 teaspoon), sriracha (1/2 teaspoon - or more to taste), ginger (1 teaspoon, grated), and cornstarch (1 teaspoon) in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets (2, about 6 ounces each) dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the salmon fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside. It should still be slightly rare inside.
  4. Add the shallot (1/2 cup, thinly sliced) to the skillet and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened into a syrupy consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Return the salmon to the skillet, coating it with the sauce.
  7. Serve the salmon immediately over steamed rice and alongside steamed broccoli florets. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
