Fast Fish Teriyaki

Ingredients:

• 1/8 cup mirin
• 1/8 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sake
• 1 pound white-fleshed fish (e.g., cod)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the mirin, soy sauce, and sake. This will be your seasoning mixture for the fish.

2. Cook the Fish: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish and pan-sauté for about 1 minute on each side, just until it starts to brown.

3. Add the Seasoning Mixture: Pour the mirin-soy sauce-sake mixture over the fish in the pan. Continue to cook, allowing the sauce to simmer and reduce by about half, which should take around 4 minutes.

4. Serve: Once the liquid has reduced and the fish is just cooked through, remove from heat. The fish should be infused with a delicately sweet-savory flavor.

Enjoy your perfectly seasoned and cooked fish, ideal for a simple yet flavorful meal.
