mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

Rice vinegar is lower in calories and provides a similar tangy flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for a lighter flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers a natural sweetness with potential health benefits.

Mix soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a bowl to create the marinade.

Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Remove salmon from marinade, reserving marinade for later use.

Cook salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until golden.

Flip the fillets and brush with reserved marinade; cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Remove salmon from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, cook rice according to package instructions.

Sauté vegetables in a separate pan with a little sesame oil until tender.

Serve salmon over rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, alongside sautéed vegetables.
