Instructions
- 1
Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
~10 min - 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, white miso paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki glaze.
~5 min - 3
Add the salmon cubes to the glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
~20 min - 4
While the salmon marinates, prepare the slaw. In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced green cabbage and julienned carrots.
~5 min - 5
In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, chopped pickled ginger, salt, and black pepper for the dressing. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture and toss to combine.
~5 min - 6
Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the soaked skewers.
~5 min - 7
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grill grates with a grill brush.
~5 min - 8
Grill the salmon skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice char. Baste with any remaining glaze during the last minute of cooking.
~8 min - 9
Serve the miso-glazed teriyaki salmon skewers immediately with the pickled ginger slaw on the side.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, reserve some of the glaze and simmer it for a few minutes on the stovetop to thicken into a sauce for drizzling over the finished skewers.
- The slaw can be made a few hours in advance. Toss it with the dressing just before serving to keep it crisp.
