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.
