Grilled Salmon with Sake

Grilled Salmon with Sake

Ingredients:
½ inch ginger root
2 tbsp cooking sake
1 tbsp usukuchi soy sauce
1 lb salmon fillet
1 tbsp butter

Peel and grate ginger and place in a shallow container. Mix in sake and soy sauce.
Marinate the salmon in this mixture for ½ hour or more. Turn half-way through to be sure it has been thoroughly soaked.
Heat a heavy skillet, and add the butter.
Remove salmon from the marinade.
Over medium heat, sauté salmon uncovered, skin side first. Turn after about 3 minutes. Be careful not to let the butter burn, and adjust heat accordingly.
Serve with rice, and cucumber/seaweed salad, or sesame spinach.
