Recipe

Salmon Teriyaki

Salmon glazed with soy sauce, sake, and mirin, topped with sesame seeds, garlic, and spring onions. Serves 4.

What you’ll doYou will make a teriyaki marinade by combining soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic and sesame oil, then marinate salmon skin-side up for at least 30 minutes. After marinating, you will sear the fillets skin-side down in a hot pan until the skin crisps, flip them, then reduce the reserved marinade in the pan, spooning it over the fish until it forms a shiny glaze and the flesh is cooked through. Finally you will plate the salmon and top it with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
