Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup sesame oil
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
4 (6 ounce) salmon steaks

Steps:

  • Mix sesame oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Set aside 1/2 cup of marinade for basting.
  • Pour remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag and place salmon into the marinade. Squeeze air out of the bag, seal, and marinate the salmon steaks for at least 1 hour (2 hours for better flavor). Drain and discard used marinade.

BROILED SALMON WITH HOMEMADE TERIYAKI GLAZE



Broiled Salmon with Homemade Teriyaki Glaze image

Simple salmon cooked under the oven's broiler with a homemade teriyaki glaze. I really like how well teriyaki flavor pairs with salmon but store-bought teriyaki sauce is so thin and doesn't stay on but runs underneath the fish. I came up with this homemade version that is more of a glaze that stays on the fish.

TERIYAKI SALMON KEBABS



Teriyaki Salmon Kebabs image

Stacked with marinated salmon, tender bell pepper and juicy charred pineapple, these grilled kebabs are inspired by the sweet and salty flavors of the Pacific, namely Japanese and Hawaiian cooking. There's enough from-scratch teriyaki sauce (ours is pretty classic) to baste the kebabs and serve on the side. The skewers are sticky and glazy, flavorful and fun-ideal for any summer meal.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup mirin
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, grated
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch squares
Kosher salt
2 1/2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
Vegetable oil, for brushing the grill pan
Sesame seeds, for serving
Sliced scallions, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar in a large bowl. Transfer 1/2 cup of the marinade to a small saucepan and set aside. Add the salmon to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Stir to combine the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl, then add to the reserved marinade in the saucepan along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture thickens to a glaze consistency, 4 to 5 minutes. (You should have about 1/2 cup.) Reserve half of the sauce for serving and the other half for basting.
  • Have ready eight 12-inch metal skewers or soak eight 12-inch wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the bell pepper to a large microwave-safe bowl, then add a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Cover and microwave until the pepper is just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool.
  • Remove the salmon from the marinade. Thread the salmon onto the skewers, alternating with the pineapple and bell pepper.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pan with oil.
  • Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally and brushing with half of the reserved teriyaki sauce, until the salmon is opaque throughout and the vegetables are tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with some sesame seeds and scallions and serve the other reserved teriyaki sauce alongside.

SALMON TERIYAKI



Salmon Teriyaki image

This is a staple recipe in my house. My pantry is always stocked with the basics like soy and mirin. If you don't have sake on hand, feel free to sub it out for sherry or white wine. Teri means "glaze" or "sauce" and yaki means "grill." Traditionally a piece of fish would be grilled over hardwood charcoal and then glazed with a luscious sauce that's sweet, salty and very savory. This version would be a Japanese home-cook version where all the work is done in one pan. I'm a believer that you can make better sauces than store bought. This teriyaki sauce recipe can be multiplied, shaken together in a bottle and held in the fridge until ready to use.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ounces (60 milliliters) sake
3 ounces (90 milliliters) mirin
4 ounces (120 milliliters) soy sauce
3 tablespoons (45 grams) sugar
1 tablespoon (8 grams) cornstarch combined with 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) water
2 pounds (910 grams) salmon filets, deboned and scaled
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
3 baby bok choy, steamed, for serving
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
3 scallions, sliced on the bias, for garnish
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • For the teriyaki sauce: Mix all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; whisk about 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the sauce bubbles and thickens slightly. Set it aside to use on the salmon and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
  • For the fish: Pat the fish dry with a paper towel, cut into four 3-inch pieces, and season it with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once you start to see white smoke, lay the fish flesh-side down in the skillet. Move the fish around constantly while cooking to keep it from sticking. When the fish is medium, 4 to 6 minutes, turn with a spatula only once.
  • Cook the other side for another minute. Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan and reduce the heat to low. The sauce will begin to simmer and reduce. Tilt the pan around a few times and turn the fish until it's well coated with the sauce.
  • To serve, cut the baby bok choy into quarters and arrange on a platter. Place the salmon over top and drizzle with the sauce from the pan. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and scallions over the salmon. Serve with rice on the side.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Choose Fresh Salmon: For the best results, use fresh salmon fillets or steaks. Avoid frozen salmon, as it can be more difficult to cook evenly.
  • Marinate the Salmon: Marinating the salmon in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse it with flavor. If you don't have time to marinate the salmon, you can simply brush it with the sauce before cooking.
  • Cook the Salmon Over Medium Heat: Cooking the salmon over medium heat will help to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry. If you cook the salmon over high heat, it is more likely to burn on the outside and remain raw on the inside.
  • Baste the Salmon with the Teriyaki Sauce: While the salmon is cooking, baste it with the teriyaki sauce several times. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the Salmon Immediately: Serve the salmon immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is hot and delicious.

Conclusion:

Teriyaki salmon is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is also a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious teriyaki salmon dinner on the table in no time.
