It has to be said. One of my favourite Japanese take-outs is Teriyaki. I love it. Yes, on the same level as Nutella and Chocolate. And that says a lot. But my favourite food to order is the salmon teriyaki over rice.

So. In true blogger fashion, I made my own.

Okayyyy I confess…..because-it-was-late-and-there-was-nothing-open. 

Raw marinated Salmon pieces

After making that incredible Simple Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry, I had to try it with salmon, only tweaking it slightly to suit this beautiful piece of fish. So basically, I tried it. See? Because I like to state the obvious. Don’t worry, I’m rolling my own eyes.

Anyway, after panfrying and searing the salmon to a sticky and wonderful piece of heaven, and filling my kitchen with the sweetness and almost caramelised aroma of a Japanese restaurant, I needed to simmer the remaining sauce to thick to a syrupy perfection.

And pour it alllllllllll over the salmon and steamed greens. Just cutting into it lightly with the chopsticks I can’t use, I found perfection on the inside. Perfectly seared on the outside. Still juicy, pink and soft on the inside. And full of flavour.

  • 4 fillets skinless atlantic salmon
  • 1 tablespoon sesame peanut or canola oil
  • 1 stem shallot/green onion sliced to garnish
  • 2 cups broccoli florets lightly steamed
  • 1 large zucchini/courgette ribbons (use a vegetable peeler to do this), lightly steamed

Instructions 

  • Combine Soy Sauce, Sake, Mirin, brown sugar, vinegar and garlic powder together in a bowl. Mix until sugar has dissolved. Pour half of the marinade into a small saucepan and set aside.
  • Rinse and pat dry salmon with a a paper towel. Place the salmon fillets into the bowl with the teriyaki glaze and allow to coat for 2 minutes each side.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick pan/skillet over medium-high heat. Fry two salmon fillets at a time, and any remaining glaze from the bowl. Fry for 3-4 minutes each side until cooked to your liking.
  • Bring the glaze in the saucepan to the boil over high heat. Lower heat and gently simmer while string occasionally, until glaze reduces and thickens. (Add a little extra warm water only if needed).
  • Serve salmon over steamed vegetables and pour teriyaki glaze over the top.

    This looks very good. Can it be done in an air fryer? I am trying to find good healthy meals for mine.

    My son who doesn’t really like ice cream devoured this dinner and asked me to make it again. I added a couple cloves of garlic to the sauce but otherwise followed the recipe.

    Growing up I had to eat salmon at least 3 times a week and it was always dry and very little flavor other than Fish, I hated it! After not eating for the last five years I decided to give it a go my self and this was one of the first recipes I glanced at but took me another week to commit to making, and I gotta say Great recipe I think I will be more willing to eat salmon again soon.
