5 milliliters mirin

# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for baking.
02 -
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add soy sauce, honey, mirin, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir to combine and simmer gently for approximately 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool briefly.
03 -
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, or grease a baking dish lightly with olive or canola oil to prevent sticking.
04 -
Arrange salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking surface. Lightly season each fillet with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
05 -
Pour the honey ginger glaze evenly over the salmon, coating all sides. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, adjusting for fillet thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
06 -
Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
