Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 Fresh oysters (preferably in the half shell)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sake
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 4 Lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C) if you are baking the oysters, or heat a grill to medium-high heat if grilling.
Rinse the oysters under cold water to remove any grit or debris. If they are not already on the half shell, carefully shuck them, discarding the top shell and placing the oysters in their bottom shells on a baking tray or grilling rack.
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and honey. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to simmer.
Add the butter, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the saucepan. Whisk everything together until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow the glaze to cool slightly.
Spoon a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of the glaze over each oyster, making sure to cover the oyster meat evenly.
If baking, place the oysters in the preheated oven and bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the oysters are just cooked through and the sauce is bubbling. If grilling, place the oysters directly on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent overcooking.
Once cooked, remove the oysters from the heat and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Garnish each oyster with a sprinkle of sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
