Ingredients

2 servings

•

1 tablespoon soy sauce
•

2 teaspoons mirin
•

2 teaspoons sake
•

1 teaspoon sugar
•

7 oz salmon fillet, skin-on

•

neutral oil, as needed
•

1 ¼ cups rice, cooked
•

2 tablespoons sesame oil
•

green leaf lettuce, to serve
•

mayonnaise, to serve

Instructions

In a shallow bowl, stir together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Add the salmon and marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of neutral oil. Add the marinated salmon and cook on both sides until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Add the reserved marinade to the pan. Stir until the salmon is fully coated in the glaze.
Shape the rice into four patties.
Heat another pan over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the rice “buns” and cook until the outside is crispy, about 5 minutes per side.
Top a rice bun with a piece of green leaf lettuce, half of the salmon fillet, a drizzle mayonnaise, and another rice bun. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a second burger.
Enjoy!
