Ingredients
For the Teriyaki Sauce
- 120 ml soy sauce
- 60 ml mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 60 ml sake (Japanese rice wine)
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp ginger minced
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (about 150-180 grams each)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Stir occasionally.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside to cool.
Prepare the Salmon:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper.
Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour 2/3 of the prepared teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets, reserving the remaining sauce for serving.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can marinate it longer for more flavor, if desired.
Cook the Salmon:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated salmon fillets, skin-side down, if they have skin.
- Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it's cooked to your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature should reach 60°C for medium doneness.
- Brush the salmon with some of the reserved teriyaki sauce during the last few minutes of cooking to glaze it.
Serve the Teriyaki Salmon:
- Remove the salmon from the heat and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Drizzle some of the remaining teriyaki sauce over the cooked salmon.
- Serve the teriyaki salmon with steamed rice and your choice of steamed vegetables or a simple salad.Enjoy your homemade teriyaki salmon with these metric measurements!
