Salmon teriyaki



Salmon teriyaki
This is my go-to fish recipe. Quick, easy and totally delicious, it never fails to please and can also be eaten at room temperature so is brilliant for bento boxes.
All seasons | Serves 4
4 salmon skinless fillets
Flour for dusting
1 tablespoon grapeseed or other light-flavoured oil
4 lime wedges
For the sauce:
50ml sake
50ml soy sauce
25ml mirin
1 tablespoon sugar
Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Rinse the salmon pieces under cold water, pat dry with kitchen towel and lightly dust with flour.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the salmon over a medium heat for a few minutes on both sides until almost cooked.
Lower the heat and soak up any excess oil with a wodge of kitchen towel.
Add the sauce carefully as it will sputter.
Turn up the heat again and allow the salmon to finish cooking as the sauce thickens and caramelises. Watch it carefully as it can reduce very quickly and burn.
Serve with a little of the teriyaki sauce poured over and a wedge of lime.
