This has become one of my favorite dishes to cook regularly. It’s super simple yet really delicious and..easy to make! Everyone in the family loves it.
I have this Takara plum sake white wine, that I got as a gift; it has a sweet aroma similar to mirin so I thought of using it for cooking.
It’s what I use to deglaze the pan and pour over the salmon. You may use any white wine or broth of course, whatever is on hand or readily available to you.
