Ingredients
4 whole Salmon Fillets (6 oz. each)
2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1⁄4 cup Sake
1⁄4 cup Soy Sauce
1⁄4 cup Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
1⁄2 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
1 whole Green Onion (sliced)

Directions
  1. Combine glaze ingredients soy sauce, sake, brown sugar, rice vinegar, green onion, and ginger in a bowl and stir until brown sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Rinse and pat dry salmon fillets. Place salmon fillets in glaze and marinate for a few minutes, and then flip over and marinate for a couple more minutes.
  3. Heat oil in a large saute-pan over high heat. Sear salmon in hot pan, turning once, until browned but barely cooked through, about 3 minutes each side.
  4. While salmon cooks, place glaze in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Vigorously simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Plate salmon and brush or pour glaze over salmon.
