Salmon Yakitori
Author: 
Recipe type: Direct heat
Serves: 4 to 6
 
Ingredients
  • For the marinade:
  • ¾ cup lite or less sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup mirin (Japanese cooking wine) or dry sherry
  • ½ sake
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  •  :
  • 1½ pounds center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 bunches scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Vegetable oil for grilling
  •  :
  • Extras: metal skewers or bamboo skewers that have soaked in water for 1 hour
Instructions
  1. Stir together the marinade ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Add the cubed salmon and weigh down with a small plate so that the salmon stays submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
  2. Remove the salmon from the marinade and strain marinade into a small sauce pan. Bring marinade to a boil and reduce the heat to simmer for 5 minutes; remove from heat and set aside to cool. Blot the salmon cubes with paper towels.
  3. Thread the salmon cubes on skewers alternating each piece of fish with a couple pieces of scallion. Brush the salmon skewers with a little vegetable oil to help prevent sticking.
  4. Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Brush the grates very clean and then oil them well before grilling.
  5. Cook on hot grill for 8 to 12 minutes turning every couple minutes and basting with the reserved yakitori sauce at each turn. Serve hot or at room temperature with steamed white rice and the remaining yakitori sauce for dipping.
