Salmon Teriyaki
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
- Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (discard the marinade) and cook the fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.
- Reduce the Marinade: While the salmon is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- Serve: Place the cooked salmon fillets on serving plates and brush with the reduced marinade. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve with steamed rice or vegetables.
Notes:
For a richer flavor, you can also use teriyaki sauce instead of the homemade marinade. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
