Ingredients

• 12 pieces fresh oysters
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
• 4 pieces lemon wedge

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Clean the oysters thoroughly under cold water. Shuck them carefully to retain their juices in the shell, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in soy sauce and mirin, and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with half of the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 6

Spoon a small amount of the garlic soy sauce mixture over each oyster, followed by a generous sprinkle of the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 7

Bake the oysters in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining green onions. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
