Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Yellowtail

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Fish to Marinade

    Place the yellowtail fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Yellowtail

    Remove the yellowtail from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill or sear the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the cooked yellowtail to a plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
