Instructions

1. Prepare the Brine

In a medium saucepan, combine the water and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the salt is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

2. Rinse the Salmon Roe

Gently rinse the salmon roe under cold running water to remove any impurities.

3. Brine the Roe

Once the brine has cooled, place the salmon roe in a shallow dish and pour the brine over it. Make sure the roe is completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4. Prepare the Soy Sauce Mixture

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, and sake.

5. Combine and Serve

After brining, drain the roe and gently pat it dry. Serve the salmon roe in a serving dish and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the top. Enjoy as a delicacy or with sushi.
