Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized skillet, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and heat over medium heat for about 1 minute.
  2. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of chopped ginger to the hot oil. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of mirin, stirring well to combine with the sautéed aromatics.
  4. Introduce 2 fillets of your chosen firm fish to the skillet. Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
