Salmon in Yuzu Sesame Sauce

A very simple dish! Quite easy to make, and the yuzu sesame combination is super tasty!

Here's my recipe for Salmon in Yuzu Sesame Sauce.

Ingredients:
- Salmon, 5-6 slices skin on
- Negi thinly sliced, or scallions chopped, about a handful

Seasonings:
- Sesame oil, 3/4 Tablespoon
- Yuzu vinegar (it's called vinegar, but it's really concentrate, just like the lemon/lime concentrate in the plastic fruit-shaped bottles), 1 teaspoon. Don't go over board with this or it will turn your sauce bitter.
- Soy sauce, 2 Tablespoons
- Sugar, preferably dark brown, 1 heaping teaspoon

Steps:
- Heat pan with sesame oil, sear the salmon skin down until skin is golden brown.
- Mix yuzu vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar together until sugar is all dissolved, pour even over the salmon in the pan.
- Cook for 15 minutes, basting occasionally to coat the salmon well, until the sauce is thickened.
- Right before serving, sprinkle the sliced negi or chopped scallion over the salmon, baste a few times again to coat the negi or scallion well before turning off heat.
- Serve hot with steamed vegetable and rice.
