Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4

    While the salmon marinates, prepare the slaw. In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced green cabbage and julienned carrots.

    ~5 min
  5. 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. 6

    Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the soaked skewers.

    ~5 min
  7. 7

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grill grates with a grill brush.

    ~5 min
  8. 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. 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.
