Directions

Whisk together the sake, miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a baking dish. Add the salmon, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before flipping the fillets over in the marinade to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Bring salmon to room temperature, about 15 minutes, then remove salmon from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange salmon in the skillet, and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the fish to a plate and garnish with basil.

Have made this twice and wonderful, both times... omitted the basil and grilled rather than pan fried... but the marinade is wonderful... gave it 5 stars for flavor ....

This was absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing. I omitted the fresh basil (didn't have any at the time). I cooked the salmon fillets in aluminum foil packets at 425 degrees for 12 minutes (my husband doesn't like the smell of fish cooking). The salmon was tender and flavorful. We'll definitely be making this again.

My husband and daughter both really liked this salmon. They said the flavour of the marinade was excellent. We grilled this instead of sauteeing it and it worked well. Thanks!
