Japanese Teriyaki Salmon
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 1/4 cup sake, 3 tbsp brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets, coating them evenly. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat.
- Transfer the teriyaki salmon to a serving platter, spooning any remaining sauce over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- Serve the teriyaki salmon hot with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
The history of Japanese Teriyaki Salmon dates back to the Edo period in Japan, where it was originally made with freshwater fish. The dish gained popularity in the United States during the 20th century, as Japanese cuisine became more widespread. Teriyaki sauce, a sweet and savory glaze made from soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, is the key component of this dish. Chefs in Japan and around the world have put their own spin on the classic recipe, incorporating local ingredients and cooking techniques. Today, the best versions of Teriyaki Salmon can be found in traditional Japanese restaurants, where skilled chefs expertly grill the fish to perfection and glaze it with a rich, flavorful teriyaki sauce. For a delicious homemade version, it's important to use high-quality salmon and to marinate it in the teriyaki sauce for the perfect amount of time to achieve the ideal balance of flavors.
