Teriyaki Salmon
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce thickens slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the teriyaki sauce while whisking constantly. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to the desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat the broiler in your oven. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon fillets, reserving some for serving. Broil the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the edges are caramelized.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with the remaining teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
- Serve the teriyaki salmon hot with steamed rice and your choice of vegetables. Enjoy!
Teriyaki salmon has a rich history rooted in Japanese culinary tradition. The dish originated in the Kanto region of Japan, where it was first prepared by marinating fresh salmon in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Over time, the dish gained popularity and spread to other parts of Japan and eventually to the rest of the world. Renowned chefs like Nobu Matsuhisa have elevated the preparation of teriyaki salmon, incorporating their own unique twists and techniques. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in top Japanese restaurants and sushi bars, where the quality of the salmon and the balance of the teriyaki sauce are crucial. To make the perfect teriyaki salmon at home, it's essential to use high-quality, fresh salmon and to master the art of creating a well-balanced teriyaki sauce. Some alternative methods for making this dish include grilling the salmon over charcoal for a smoky flavor or adding a touch of citrus, such as yuzu, to the teriyaki sauce for a refreshing twist.
