Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 oz each) eel fillets
- 0.5 cup gluten-free soy sauce
- 0.25 cup mirin (gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon, toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons, sliced for garnish spring onions
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the teriyaki glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring it to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, or until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the eel fillets with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the eel fillets on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 5 minutes. Flip the fillets gently with a spatula.
Step 5
Brush the tops of the eel fillets with the prepared teriyaki glaze, and continue to grill for another 5 minutes until the eel is cooked through and has a nice caramelized glaze.
Step 6
Remove the eel from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Brush any remaining glaze over the fillets for added flavor.
Step 7
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the glazed eel fillets. Garnish with sliced spring onions before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot with steamed rice or your preferred accompaniments.
