Teriyaki Glazed Salmon

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Perfectly seared and panfried Teriyaki Glazed Salmon

Cooked in a teriyaki sauce served with steamed zucchini ribbons and broccoli. The ultimate healthy, low carb meal full of everything ‘good-for-you,’ meal in minutes! No marinading needed! Crispy on the outside and full of amazing, sweet and salty teriyaki flavour.

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.

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.

In the words of, um, well me….make.this.now. And tell me all about it later.

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Japanese rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar as a substitute)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 x 170g | 6oz skinless atlantic salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon sesame , peanut or canola oil
  • 1 shallot/green onion stem , sliced to garnish

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.

    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.
