Ingredients

  • 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 teaspoons mirin
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger optional
  • 1 to 1½  pounds salmon filet skinned
  • 3 pounds of fresh spinach or 2 10-ounce bags of cleaned spinach leaves.
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450℉. In a small bowl whisk soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, sugar and ginger.
  • Place salmon in a roasting pan. Sprinkle fish with 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce mixture and rub it over the fish.
  • Roast the salmon, uncovered, for 12 minutes or until the fish can just be flaked with a fork and has changed color in the thickest part.
  • Remove from the oven and keep warm by lightly placing a piece of aluminum foil over it.
  • Rinse spinach leaves. With the water still clinging to them, place in a steamer and steam for 2 minutes, or until just tender. Drain.
  • Place clumps of spinach on a serving platter or on plates in a fairly thin layer. Arrange salmon next to or on top of the spinach.
  • Drizzle 1 teaspoon of soy sauce mixture on the salmon and pour the remaining mixture over the spinach.
  • Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
