Teriyaki Salmon 鮭の照り焼き
Ingredients
- 340 g fillets salmon with skin 1/2 to 3/4" thickness
- ¼ tsp Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp All-purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 tbsp Sake
Seasonings
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Light soy sauce
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for Seasonings and mix well until the sugar is mostly dissolved (or you can microwave for seconds).
- Rinse the salmon and pat dry. Season the salmon with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp. of all-purpose flour on one side of salmon and spread evenly. Flip over and sprinkle the rest of flour on the other side. Gently remove the excess flour.
- In a frying pan, add vegetable oil and melt the butter over medium heat. Don’t burn the butter. If the frying pan gets too hot, reduce heat or remove from the heat temporally.
- Add the salmon fillets, skin side on the bottom (this will be top when you serve). Cook the salmon for 3 minutes, or until the bottom side is nicely browned.
- Add sake and cover with lid. Steam the salmon for 3 minutes, or until it's cooked through. Remove the salmon to a plate.
- Add the seasonings to the pan and increase the heat little bit. When the sauce starts to boil, add salmon back in the pan and spoon the sauce over the salmon.
- When the sauce thickens, turn off the heat. Plate the salmon on a plate and serve immediately.
