Teriyaki Salmon

I had the best Bento in my life that day and it's because of the succulent teriyaki salmon (generous portion). It was so yummy! Therefore, I took the liberty of learning how to make the sauce and sharing it here.



Basically the salmon is pan grilled but in my case; oven grilled. I like it juicy and succulent.

MY RECIPE:

Difficulty level: 20%
Preparation time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:


  • 2 fillets of salmon
  • salt
  • olive oil
  • soy sauce
  • mirin (Japanese sweet cooking wine)
  • sugar
Steps:

  1. For the sauce, pour olive oil (or any oil) into the sauce pan at medium heat.
  2. Add in quarter cup of soy sauce and quarter cup of mirin.
  3. Then, add three tablespoons of sugar into the mixture and stir until the sauce thickens.
  4. That is basically your teriyaki sauce. You use part of them to marinade the salmon.
  5. Rub the salmon with some salt and bake them in the oven for 30 minutes
  6. Finish the dish by pouring the remaining sauce over the salmon. You can even try basting with this recipe... basically you just pour the sauce but repeatedly coat the fish with the sauce in slow heat.
There you go! Try out your own teriyaki salmon!
