<Miwa’s tips>
Steaming the salmon will keep the moisture and result in a tender salmon.
The key to success is ①not overcooking. ②wipe off the excess fish oil as much as possible before adding sauce.
If you prefer less tangy, reduce vinegar in half and add more mirin to your liking.
Your kitchen might smell like vinegar. Please be prepare for it.haha
