1
Clean the Fish
Rinse the baby yellowtail under cold water to remove any impurities. Pat dry with paper towels.
2
Fillet the Yellowtail
Place the fish on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, fillet the fish by cutting along the backbone and separating the flesh from the bones. Cut the fillets into bite-sized pieces.

3
Mix the Marinade
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk until well blended.
4
Marinate the Fish
Place the filleted yellowtail into a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

5
Cook the Fish
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium heat. Remove the yellowtail from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill or pan-sear the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and lightly charred.
6
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the cooked yellowtail to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
