1 | Whisk together the mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, and Tabasco in a small bowl to ensure that all the sugar dissolves. |
2 | In a large Ziplock or Foodsaver bag, pour the marinade over the salmon. Seal bag and marinate salmon steaks in the fridge for at least an hour or up to overnight. |
3 | When ready to cook the salmon, whisk all the lemon dressing ingredients (except sesame seeds) together in a small bowl. Reserve. |
4 | Preheat the non-stick skillet. When hot, add the salmon, then pour the remaining marinade on top of it. |
5 | Cover and cook the salmon over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, or until the bottoms of the fish are browned and tops are cooked from the steam generated in the covered skillet. The salmon steaks should be slightly rare in the center. |
6 | To serve, transfer the salmon to each plate and drizzle with lemon dressing. Sprinkle on the sesame seeds and enjoy immediately. |

notes
We prepared this for our family at a Christmas Eve party we hosted in 2013. It worked out really well for a party. We simply started the salmon cooking once the eating began then served piping hot fillets to our guests. Everyone loved it!
