This recipe can be made more complicated, but the thing is this - it is extremely simple. Teriyaki salmon can be cooked in literally 10-15 minutes. No understatement! What happened? Almost a restaurant dish. By the way, due to the fact that it is not very high in calories, women are very fond of it. In particular, those who follow the figure. Teriyaki salmon is also an excellent romantic meal for two.
Stock up on groceries
For cooking, take: four fresh salmon steaks (salmon), with peeled scales, but with skin.
You will also need the following: ginger and garlic (in the end we need to get a teaspoon with a slide of grated ginger and a tablespoon of crushed garlic), honey, soy sauce, a few tablespoons of rice wine. Everything is ready - you can proceed.
Teriyaki salmon: a simple recipe
- Finely grate a teaspoon of ginger and a tablespoon of garlic (you can use garlic press).
- Now we need a good soy sauce and a little rice wine. If you don’t want to buy it, but want to save, just add a tablespoon of sugar in soy sauce - it will also be fine (budget option).
- Ginger, garlic, soy sauce, half a glass of sweet wine, mix in a container, and let it brew. For sweetness, you still need to add a teaspoon of honey. Subsequently, we will "evaporate" all this.
- Now, what happened, you need to squeeze through cheesecloth so that there are no pieces. It usually takes a few minutes for the marinade to infuse.
Roasting
Grasp the fish. On both sides it needs a little salt and pepper. Add a little olive oil to the pan (you can use just a good container with non-stick coating), heat it and spread the steaks. First, with the skin down, and after two minutes we turn it on the other side. We should have a crisp. And fry for a minute or even 30 seconds. Then put the salmon aside. He is not ready yet.
We evaporate the sauce and glaze the teriyaki salmon
If there is olive oil left, pour it from the pan. Now pour the previously filtered marinade into the pan. It evaporates almost instantly and turns into a glaze. Everything happens fast. As soon as the icing begins to linger a little bit on the spoon, we glaze the salmon in it.
It does not need to be done for a long time. Just dip the fish and coat from all sides (or pour on top with this thick mixture). By the way, there is an option when the steaks are not fried before using them in raw or slightly salted form. Then the salmon should be glazed right in the pan over low heat, dipping the slices in a thick sauce so that they undergo a light heat treatment.
Side dish available
This concludes the basic salmon recipe in teriyaki sauce. Indeed, it turned out very quickly. Now you can do the side dish.
Everything here is also simple. Vegetables are best served with fish. You can focus on your loved ones, but in our case we’ll take carrots and cucumbers. We clean them and cut them into thin long strips - “villi”. This is most conveniently done using a special knife for peeling vegetables. The “villi” should be mixed and seasoned. Than?
You can greek yogurt. And you can make a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil - here everyone acts at their own discretion, to their own culinary taste.
How to serve
Serve teriyaki salmon to the table in portions. On a plate (to comply with the oriental surroundings, you can use a square-shaped dish) lay out a good handful of salad. And on top of it we put a glazed steak. True, other options are possible. To eat a meal, use traditional sticks. And you can do with a fork. In general, the dish is impossible to the impossible: it cooks quickly and turns out to be very tasty. So try to cook it for sure. Bon appetit to all!
