Ingredients

• 2 pieces (each approximately 6 oz) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons sriracha
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 2 pieces sandwich buns
• 0.5 pieces cucumber, thinly sliced
• 3 pieces radishes, thinly sliced
• 1 sheet nori sheets (seaweed), cut into small strips
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let the salmon marinate for 10 minutes, turning halfway through.

Step 3

While the salmon marinates, prepare the spicy mayo. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the neutral cooking oil. Remove the salmon from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until the flesh flakes easily and is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Lightly toast the sandwich buns in the same skillet or a toaster until warm and slightly crispy.

Step 6

Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the spicy mayo generously on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with thinly sliced cucumber, radish slices, cooked salmon (flaked or whole), a sprinkle of nori strips, and sesame seeds. Top with the remaining half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Salmon Sandwiches with Japanese Flavors.
